It seems this fuzzy matching is part of a new-fuzzled definition of
usability. Here's an excerpt from the Command-T homepage:

To search efficiently, especially in large projects, you should
adopt a "path-centric" rather than a "filename-centric" mentality.
That is you should think more about where the desired file is
found rather than what it is called. This means narrowing your
search down by including some characters from the upper path
components rather than just entering characters from the filename
itself. -- https://github.com/wincent/Command-T

Does that work well for you? Maybe for project where all files have the
same names because some framework favors Convention Over Configuration?

I guess most humans find it easier to remember words or part of words
instead of "some characters from the upper path components".
