I have to agree on this one although I have used iswitchb a lot (I use `anything' most of the time now). When taking time to look at what iswitchb displays I almost get scared :) A jumble of buffer names and commas (it's compact though.) Maybe something can be done with the display of buffer names, using a list, at least for beginners? I never look at the list myself until I have typed a few chars, to see what matches I get. I find iswitchb and anything very convenient as they both match anywhere inside a string. I hate needing to type that leading `*' when going to buffers which such names.
