Thanks!  From a quick glance I can see that Icicles is (are?)
incompatible with Ido.  I'd like to ask "which is better", but this is
probably not a good idea;), so let me ask: are there any people here
who switched from Ido to Icicles?  If yes, why?  (I've been using Ido
for only a few months now, but I find it indispensable.  OTOH, I
probably use only a small fraction of its features.  And it is well
possible that Icicles will give me all I need from Ido.)

A toolbox of features to combine into a tailor-made solution is fine
for me.  Especially that my requirements might not be exactly common
(especially the scattering of the "project" files around many
directories).

I've seen that page, and that's why I wrote here: I hoped for a
positive number of answers taking into account /my/ requirements;).
