I have never found 'tags' as good as a browser that uses compiler
information. That's one reason I like Ada; the GNAT compiler outputs
browse information that emacs understands.

Do you have a url for ebrowse? It doesn't seem to be included with
emacs 20.7. At least, 'help apropos' doesn't recognize it, and 'grep'
in the lisp source tree didn't find it.

Maybe we should lobby for having gcc C and C++ output browser
information?
