How do you navigate different projects?
https://github.com/vim-ctrlspace/vim-ctrlspace is the main plugin I use to open files and jump between buffers. In terms of this plugin, a project is a "bookmark," and you can switch between them easily - each project is actually just a working directory. Then you can open files from the current project directory using fuzzy search. I use tabs to keep related buffers together. And one of strong points of ctrlspace is that it keeps buffer list separate per tab. In other words, each tab has its own list of buffers, so you can jump really quickly between them. Of course, you can search in all loaded buffers (like in :ls).

How to avoid having six million buffers open
I thought it would be nice to have something like :ls but only for buffers of a current tab. There's a plugin that does exactly that: https://github.com/vim-ctrlspace/vim-ctrlspace. It supports fuzzy search of buffers (as well as files in your project), but I mostly use j/k in the buffer selection list. You can do browsing in a separate tab to keep those uninteresting buffers separate from everything else. I just no longer use :ls since it still contains a list of all buffers ever opened, and vim-ctrlspace buffer switching is much better. Though I sometimes still use :b filename.

Favorite unfamous vim/neovim plugin?
I personally love vim-ctrlspace. I found out about it a few months ago, and since then, it's really one of the few plugins that I can't live without.

How to handle multiple projects in a single instance
I used spacemacs for a few years and this problem was solved pretty neatly by projectile which basically filters all the buffer not in the current project. However it wasn't perfect and switch back to vim/tmux, but if for those who like this kind of workflow and don't want to use tmux (because for example they prefer a GUI version of vim), the vim plugin (ctrspace)(https://github.com/vim-ctrlspace/vim-ctrlspace) gives a similar workflow. I tried using but it wasn't for me.

Try vim-addon-local-vimrc to load a project specific vimrc or vim-ctrlspace to load session infos.
