Well, I don't use eldoc (I should.)  
My setup is also quite primitive.

No.

I use registers a lot.  I register the point, the window configuration,
I register chunks of text, etc.

I also use ElScreen, which implements tabs for Emacs:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsLispScreen

I could not actually live without ElScreen and I can't wait to use
something native.

Usual commands (C-x C-x) and registers.

No.

Configuration is like hair: with age, you somehow become minimalist :)

Besides using register-list.el¹, I don't have any particular setup.
Sorry I can't help more!  Looking forward reading other answers...

Best,
