follow-mode is great. I use functions that:
1. split into three or four windows
2. balance the windows (so each takes up equal amount of space)
3. turn on line highlighting
Line highlighting helps because when using follow-mode it can become difficult to quickly spot where the cursor is without it (e.g. if you do an incremental search, the cursor could end up in any one of the many windows).
You can find the functions I wrote here, search for functions that end in "-and-follow":

What I'd like to have is a function that dynamically opens just enough windows so that the entire file you are editing is entirely visible (possibly with an upper limit for number of windows that can be set).
