I'd also like some way of better managing dired buffers. Every time I try to use dired intensively instead of the shell, I end up with dozens of dired buffers laying around. I'd prefer everything to happen in a single dired buffer unless I explicitly "fork" my dired history. IOW, navigation in dired buffers, and eww buffers, and occur buffers, should work exactly like web browser pages with an "open in new tab" option.
