Especially for large projects it can get difficult to remember the dependency chain. It would be very useful to be able to visualize project dependencies similar to the way the "Call Hierarchy" is displayed.
There should be two modes, showing :
1. projects depending on the selected project
2. projects the selected project depends on

Maybe this RFE could be implemented on platform level, so that other projects such as CDT could also benefit from it.

This is an area that we want to keep open for external contributions. No plans for this. (Sorry!)
