What's the fastest way to find and open a file with MacVim? NERDtree is a great plugin, but I still have to navigate (sometimes very deep) directory trees in order to get to the file I want to get to. Is there any functionality that allows me to search a substring of a file name and show me a result set I can click on from that?

Since we are all listing alternatives here, Command-T is another fuzzyfinder-esque plugin that attempts to mimic textmate's find function.

Docs can be found here.
