Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for a Vim tutorial on setting up FuzzyFinder for TextMate-style 'Go To File' alongside the Project plugin, and for a post on browser plugins versus extensions.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
Absolutely agree. I also highly recommend FuzzyFinder if you like TextMate's "Go To File" (CTRL+SHIFT+R Eclipse, CTRL+SHIFT+O NetBeans), and also combined with the Project plugin. Here's a decent tutorial in setting it up: http://colonelpanic.net/2010/05/textmate-go-to-file-in-vim/ The tutorial uses Project (I would say complementary more than an alternative to NERDTree). It depends on your needs, and I use both. NE…

HN discussionGood article and a pretty interesting project. It took me a while to realise that this was about plugins not extensions. You don't hear much about people making browser plugins so my brain immediately translated plugins==extensions. http://colonelpanic.net/2010/08/browser-plugins-vs-extension... Still an interesting project but I think we definitely need a cross-browser extension framework right about now.
