I dont use fzf but CtrlP for vim is also very good at fuzzy search.

CtrlP enables my habit of having gazillions of buffers open when working on large projects. It’s great with splits.
CtrlP is nice but pretty slow. You can try ripgrep with CtrlP using:

if executable('rg')

  let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'rg %s --files --color=never --glob ""'

  let g:ctrlp_use_caching = 0
endif
CtrlP is much slower when indexing large directories.
When you say large, how large is that?
I have a directory with about 40,000 java files. It takes 11 seconds for ctrlp to finish indexing (without using cache). Fzf finished it before I start counting.
CtrlP works great with Windows VIM!
i find unite.vim very useful
