Feel free to post some Emacs packages that provide what he's asking for.
Your first post just dismissed him as a "typical designer" and focused only on the word ugly.

- jrockway 17y agoEverything he wants is handled by eproject and a tags table. (If you don't want to generate a tags table, just have something generate it for you in the background. I use the Perl-specific http://github.com/jrockway/editor-tags/. http://github.com/jrockway/editor-tags/.) Anything, icicles, ido, ibuffer, and iswitchb, are also good tools.
- silentbicycle 17y agoAnything, in particular, seems to cover most of his wishes. He dismisses the menu style that ibuffer / iswitchb use as ugly, and while I agree that their output is cluttered, I still find them vastly superior in practice to a one-file-per-line list. They make more sense with an editor that uses a minibuffer, though. (I use dmenu, too.) Also, I think displaying the file extensions in lowercase would make them easier to visually disambiguate at a glance. Block of CAPITAL LETTERS hide ascenders and descenders, making every word a rectangle.
