After playing a little bit with Starter kits, I decided to shape my init.el from scratch and it's definitely worth it. TRAMP with sshx is not hanging anymore, and I am now finally appreciating eshell-mode; simple, yet powerful.

What are some eshell tips/packages that you can share with a 1-month converted emacsian?
I incorporated eshell-z in my workflow and It seems very useful.
