What do you use instead?

I used to use pymacs and ropemacs with python, but it broke in hard to determine ways, and then on my latest project it was horribly slow, so I stopped.

I still live in emacs

I use pymacs/ropemacs, but for generalized search I use ack-mode.

If I know what I'm looking at, go-to definition is perfectly fast even in huge projects. (My day-to-day project is quite large.)

I know the generalized search sucks/is slow, I've been meaning to fix it myself for some time.
