cscope is limited to C/C++, yes. It might partially work in Java too. Someone had to write the code in either case, you don't get free language-aware features just because you call your editor an IDE. I do see value in IDEs, and in hindsight we wish that vim/emacs were more embeddable so that the first round of OSS IDEs were wrappers around Real Editors and we wouldn't have this flamewar. (actually maybe emacs is embeddable and embedded, I don't know) Vim is on the road to being embeddable, I hope it gets there soon. BTW, vim7 has a lot of new IDE-ish features. I'm sure we'll see a merging of all these things into a few really good solutions, and I'm pretty sure vim (or a vim clone) will be at the center of at least one. > cscope is one of those rare gems left to us by SCO.
