[Discuss] efficiently changing directories?

Hi everybody,

as time passes by my directory structures grow bigger and bigger. 
Does anybody know of a utility or method to change directories easily? 

I used to use tcsh and it had a nice feature (which I have totally
forgotten what its name was) to specify a set of directories where cd will
try to find a directory if it did not exist in the current path.

While I was writing this I found that it also exists in bash, and
enabled it (CDPATH). I should have read this part of the man page long
time ago!

Yet, I am curious to know, are there any utilities that people use to
quickly move to directories (other than writing aliases)?
