Three-four years ago I got ctags set up with vim and got it to work. I found that I still preferred paper references and manpages when writing code -- and if I had to go through that much trouble to get someone else's code to compile, I'd generall declare it a bad job and dump it. _Good_ experience? It was okay, I suppose. Wasn't good enough to get me to set it up on every machine I might develop on, though (unlike my experience with, say, CVS, or vi). -- Then again, I've been unimpressed with IDEs as well. YMMV.
