How do you generally open files in Emacs? Is it always using find-file or you use some shortcuts to access commonly used folders/files? For example, if you have a project currently working on, which contains files spread in different folders, say:
- Apache config files in /opt/apache/...
- Source of your newest PHP application in ~/php/...
- Some configuration of your DNS server in /etc/...
- <add files in distant folders>
do you find-file all of them (or dired in a similar fashion), or do you use something else to quickly access them?

I use
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookMarks
and
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/InteractivelyDoThings
These features might also be of interest:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FileNameCache
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FileSets
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RecentFiles
This is just scratching the surface, there are some more extensions
you might like that make emacs aware of a "project". Here's a list:

If you have projects, these one are may be under version control.
If you use DVC,
<http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DistributedVersionControl>
you will be able to use dvc-bookmarks, and access your files from here.
(and much more, log, pull, push etc...)
Unlike bookmarks, you can create differents trees for each project,
close trees, open trees, have a different color for each tree, timestamp
for each tree and each project ...etc...

I use anything.el:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/anything-config.el
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/Anything
It's really useful. I especially like to turn on the `locate' results,
so I can quickly find results from the whole filesystem. Plus, another
calculator never hurts.

In addition to locate, if you use anything-traverse.el, you will be able
to search files recursively in a directory tree.You can have these datas
persistent between emacs sessions if you want.
I can index the 35000 files of my home directory with that.
You can have an index in any directory.

That is nice for specific subsets. I use locate to search across
millions of files (SVN repository with many checked-out branches); it's
slower but since it's asynchronous I don't mind.
It would be nice if Emacs had a way to automatically persist hashtables,
wouldn't it? Maybe tying them to SQLite or something like that... I've
proposed it on emacs-devel before but so far there's been little
interest; after Emacs 23 is out I'll probably push it again.

It is for specific subsets, it is complementary to locate when you want
to search only in this directory and not in the whole system.
You can also set it to use only these dirs or these files.

Yes would be nice among other things.
