LustyExplorer is a fast and responsive way to manage files and buffers in Vim. It includes a filesystem explorer, a buffer switcher, and a buffer grep for searching through and switching between files and buffers quickly, all through a mostly common interface.
Short demo videos folks have made:

Older stuff (pre v2.0 - we now use fuzzy matching instead of tab completion):

Instructions:
:LustyFilesystemExplorer
:LustyFilesystemExplorerFromHere
:LustyBufferExplorer
:LustyBufferGrep (for searching through all open buffers)
<Leader>lf - Opens filesystem explorer.
<Leader>lr - Opens filesystem explorer at the directory of the current file.
<Leader>lb - Opens buffer explorer.
<Leader>lg - Opens buffer grep.
When one of the explorers is launched, a new window appears at bottom presenting a table of files/dirs or buffers, and in the status bar is a prompt:
>>
As you type a name, the table updates using a fuzzy matching algorithm (or regex matching in the case of grep). Press enter to open the selected match, / to select the next/previous match, or press or to cancel.
See the "Usage:" section of the script for other tricks and features.
