I think you should consider taking a look at projectile
[https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile]. It lets you jump between
different projects and opens files by offering you _every_ file in your
project. This is incredibly useful combined with flex matching like ido
or ido-flx.

It can do all sorts of other project related tasks, too, but only using
it for these two is already worth it, IMO.

HTH,
