#3Am I the only one that found staring at orange hard on the eyes? I guess I should give the author credit for all the work that they put into this rant, seems like a blog post could have done just the same without all the fancy graphics and what not.

Same here, I struggled to read the whole thing. By comparison the screenshots were refreshing to look at.

Actually, I had a harder time reading your comment, while my eyes re-adjusted to a more "normal" color scheme.

#8In my experience, Anything provides better file and buffer location for Emacs. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Anything

#9Typical designer. "Oh no, my text editor displays its status to me using text."
Yeah. Some people get their eye-candy feed from lolcat videos, and then use their tools for work. (My desktop doesn't even have wobbly windows! Just a 1-px red border! How can I get any work done that way!)
Also, I'm fairly certain that eproject gets rid of the "wall of text" that disqualifies Emacs. In a perl project, for example, I can hit C-c C-f to find project files, but the files are displayed as the names of their resources -- instead of lib/Foo/Bar.pm, I see "Foo::Bar".
Personally, though, I just "eproject-open-all-project-files" when I start working, and then just iswitchb to the file I want to work in. Usually, you are two or three characters away from any file you want.
Learning and thinking > pretty.

#10At the risk of ending anticlimactically, I plan to release it as a serious helper application with painless TextMate, Vim, and Emacs integration for a small fee (payable with PeepCode credits or free to Unlimited subscribers).
Good to know. We're saved. For a small fee.
