yeah, I switched to cd - for a while but got bitten by this too many times.

$ pwd

/some/long/compli/cated/v1.0.7/path/to/_stuff

$ cd /simple/

$ do -stuff

$ cd ./foo

$ do -stuff

$ rem now let's get back to that complicated directory again

$ cd -

oh, wait, I cd'ed twice, shit

If you find yourself in this spot again, Ctrl-r `cd /som` helps.
