I'm not sure a direct link to the GitHub readme does this project justice if you're not already familiar with it (though the documentation is pretty good for someone who already knows what it is).
On the other hand I'm not sure how to describe it to a newcomer either, but at least I can do the crass "it's like this thing you may be more familiar with" which projects themselves don't like to say on their sites.
So if you use FZF on the command line or in Vim, check this out (there's wrappers for the actual FZF algorithm as well, though not by default), CtrlP is maybe the oldest Vim plugin that does this kind of thing and I think the various IDE implementations (which generally focus more on file or code locations than the Vim ones, which use it to enhance the keyboard interface generally) started with Textmate's Ctrl-T though maybe Sublime version is better known.
I'm very bullish on this being the best UI workflow for programmers, since we're dealing with a lot of textual information.
