I knew about it but hadn't looked through it in detail. I took another look and saw a bug (3849) for eshell (lack of) documentation. That would work. I saw a couple more that looked interesting.

I tried ECB + CEDET about a year ago and found it very hard to use at that point. Felt like I had to really understand them to be able to use them instead of just being able to use them. I was also just then starting to try out Emacs so that probably made it worse. I haven't tried it recently though I read that a new version of both were released.
