@elextr You are welcome to "address the real problem" and submit patches. Create 30 great parsers for all the languages that do everything right, create a fantastic tag management system that holds the complete contextual information and that autocompletes the right symbol 100% of the time. Maybe instead of saying it's shit every time TM is mentioned you could actually do something about it.

Now I am an ordinary human with limited resources and will keep "putting lipstick on a pig" by both improving the ctags parsers and the tag manager.

Also I have a very different experience with the parsers and tag management than you - I'm super happy about the results. The most important for me is goto symbol/tag definition which works flawlessly but I quite like the "stupid" autocompletion where on the one hand one has to type quite a lot to reduce the number of symbols in the list but where on the other hand one can  be sure that the symbol he types exists when the autocompletion popup is still open (more like typo-correction than autocompletion). And this is something I'm afraid could be gone with eeac1ca.
