Yes, the primary advantage of tags is that you can jump to the definition
for a symbol that resides in some other file. Another is that you can do so
with a simple keystroke combination.
Here at the Mathworks we have a perl script that invokes etags on our C and
Java source hierarchies package by package. (I have gotten around to
updating it to use jtags for Java files.) It inserts a tags file in package
directory. Then it inserts a tags file at the top level of the hierarchy
that simply references the low-level tags files. The advantage for a large
source hierarchy like ours is that you can distribute your tags database
across a bunch of relatively small files instead of having one humongous
tags file.
