I mostly rely on the language mode.

Python mode gives a list of classes and members.  Anybody know about a
similar feature for C or C++?  A list of C and C++ functions/types in
the speed bar would be useful.  Cscope (http://cscope.sourceforge.net/) 
comes close.

I don't know about any elisp packages.  I find these things handy:

     ;; Look and feel customizations.
     ; (emacs) Cursor Display
     (blink-cursor-mode nil)
     (setq cursor-in-non-selected-windows nil) ; remove cursor from
                                               ; non-selected windows
     ; I like lots of color.
     (global-font-lock-mode t)
     (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
     (column-number-mode t)

     ;; ============
     ;; Keybindings.
     (global-set-key "\C-ct" 'my-insert-current-time)
     (global-set-key "\C-cc" 'compile)
     (global-set-key "\C-cg" 'goto-line)
     (global-set-key "\C-cr" 'rename-buffer)
     (global-set-key "\C-cb" 'shell) ; b for bash

     ;; ==========
     ;; Functions.

     ;; current-time
     (defun my-insert-current-time ()
       (interactive)
       (insert (current-time-string)))

     ;; ===========
     ; python mode
     (setq auto-mode-alist
           (cons '("\\.py$" . python-mode) auto-mode-alist))
     (setq interpreter-mode-alist
           (cons '("python" . python-mode)
                 interpreter-mode-alist))
     (autoload 'python-mode "python-mode" "Python editing mode." t)
