I would say it's more integrated but also more flexible (only within neovim though. I don't have any good solution to run telescope from command line at this moment).

Each aspect of telescope can be customized (so you can change the sorting algorithm, the previewer, the search text, the format of the UI, etc). It was designed for vimmers to spend endless hours configuring (which is my favorite pasttime) ;)

The speed difference should be less now (for most of the pickers, I haven't fixed all of them yet), but fzf is (and probably always will be) faster than telescope.

It's a bit difficult to explain in short amounts, but I will hopefully put together a youtube series and/or some writing where I can explain it more succinctly. I usually feel like I have too much to say when it comes to telescope.

Ultimately though, I think if fzf is working well for you then I probably would not switch. fzf is really awesome!

That sounds really exciting, thank you so much for your work. I'll give it a try. Great new neovim prospects!
Thanks :) Hope you enjoy it!
