Emacs-nav
Emacs-nav is a lightweight solution for Emacs users who want something like
TextMate's file browser, or the Eclipse project view. Unlike these
two, Nav only shows the contents of a single directory at a time. Nav
can be run painlessly in terminals, where Speed bar either fails on its
attempt to make a new frame or is hidden. Nav's terminal-friendliness
comes from running in the frame where it was started, keeping window
management simple. The Nav key bindings are also simple -- each
key command is a single keystroke long.

Unlike speed bar, nav doesn't make use of etags.
