Fzy claims to have a more refined algorithm so I switched to the telescope plugin to see if I noticed a difference before I switched my whole shell to use it. I found the native plugin to actually make my telescope unstable and lock up the editor, requiring me to nuke the entire shell so I'm back at fzf native. I'm actually planning to try telescope native since they apparently just merged a massive performance PR.
