In regular old terminal vim loads up just fine testing with :Files command, in macvim testing the :Files command it hangs for a second then goes back to the line I was on with zero output at all.

Since fzf is an external command-line program rather than a vim plugin written in vimscript, it cannot start inside macvim window. Instead, it starts an external terminal emulator which by default is xterm. It is likely that xterm is not installed on your system. Please refer to this issue: junegunn/fzf#234

I fixed the problem where fzf does not print any message when it failed to start the "launcher". So if you update the main repo, you'll now see the message Error running xterm -T ....

By the way you can use iterm2 instead of xterm:
