Some more comments:
- I like the fact I can customise RET or, more to the point, that it
be consistent with the rest of org-mode. I personally would set
org-buffers-follow-link-method to 'current-window but then it would
be nice to have SPC, say, open the buffer in another window, to
behave consistently with org-agenda?
- I would prefer some consistency or symmetry in the creation and
burying of the buffer: given that (by default) org-buffers-list
brings up a new window in the current frame, quitting that buffer
should also delete the window; otherwise, I would like it to not
split the frame. Does that make sense?
- what's the point of orb-buffers-toggle-heading? I ask because I
don't understand what functionality it adds and the default binding
(h) conflicts with my speed keys (I use vi-like bindings for speed
motion keys).
- In column view mode (which I also have not figured out why it would
be used...), the heading uses a different font size than the normal
entries so the headings don't line up at all. This may be my fault,
however.
- if I bring up the buffers list a second time, having created a new
buffer in the meantime, the new buffer does not appear until I hit
'g'. I think any invocation of org-buffers-list should do an
automatic update of the list.
- Lastly, it would be nice to either avoid the single blank line at
the start of the buffer or have point be at the first heading.
Having point at the first (empty) line seems to cause some problems
with speed motion keys sometimes... it also wastes a line!
Actually, I think it might be useful to have point be placed at the
heading that corresponds to the buffer currently being visited when
the org-buffers-list command is invoked. A thought.
In any case, it's almost ready for me to replace my current C-xC-b
binding... :)

bs-show has a nice feature which allows different classes of buffers
to be shown and to cycle through the different views easily.
