How about that:

You did a grep for some identifier and afterward want to look at all
the places it is used. So you have to start less or vi or whatever with
all the filenames you found - that maybe a lot of typing.

With cscope you get the search result as a list you can choose from.
No typing of each found filename.


But to be honest I do use grep, sed  and other tools as well. It is
good to have a well filled and sorted toolbag.
