I like to use next-buffer bound to a key to cycle through the open buffers.
I googled around and found buffer-stack.el, which kind of minimizes the
problem by keeping the less recently used buffers at the bottom of the stack,
however it's still annoying to have the clutter around.  It's actually pretty
surprising nobody has made a fix for this.

Thanks, but I'm not looking to change my behavior to fit emacs, but the
