Interesting ideas in eproject.el for managing large software projects with Emacs.
I personally use anything.el, I should look into setting up some of these ideas with anything mode. If you don't use anything.el yet, totally check it out, it has made me 10x more productive in Emacs. I used iswitchb for years, and it's great, but anything.el is so smart, it's scary. Often it knows which buffer I want to switch to before I do.

I'm curious what the difference is between something like anything.el, eproject.el and ido.el?
Sometimes it is confusing to consider how a mode dedicated to the idea of a project compares to something like iswitchb, which is simply meant to help make switching buffers simpler. I'm not saying it doesn't make sense, but rather the intersections in functionality are an interesting side effect.
it's looking like eproject isn't really adequate for large projects. It takes quite a few seconds to get to the eproject-find-file prompt in the Boost project, for example (http://boost.org).
