I know this has been discussed a lot of times but is there any nice how-to for c/c++ intellisense in emacs? I have never been able to set up cedet properly.

Right now I am working on a maintenance project with a huuge code base and it is very difficult to manage without proper intellisense. Currently I am using vim with ctags/cscope and omnicomplete features for intellisense which works great; but I would like to get things to work with emacs.

If you cannot get CEDET working, then you could use auto-complete.el combined with CTAGS or just words-in-buffer or words-in-all-buffers. For what it's worth, if you did get CEDET working, then you would have essentially exactly what you want. It works very well for me. Auto-complete, however, is totally generic and supports any number of backends being plugged into it.
