I used Vim before switching to Emacs, and also used CtrlP. I've also had the pain of not being able to find a good replacement for CtrlP until I discovered Helm and more specific Helm-ls-git https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm-ls-git . Now I have the opposite problem that Vim doesn't have anything as good as the collection of Helm plugins that I use.
