It takes a little getting used to because it isn't as intuative as cscope's
visual navigation; but, it is quite efficient once you have internalized
it.  It also has a portability advantage.  ctags works with all versions of
vi so you are not just limited to vim.  Excuberant ctags works with most
langauges that you are likely to be working in and many tools are available
that produce ctags files for other languages.

It usually jumps to the most relavant tag.  If necessary, you can specify
exactly which tag you need with ":tag".
