I don't know if it's better or not -- I just happened to start with GNU-Global
and it worked nice for me. Some of the things that I liked and may (or may not)
be
available in some of the other tools:
- create a tagfile for a whole subtree (recursively)
- incremental updates
- can be used outside emacs
However, GNU-Global only supports C, C++, Yacc, Java en PHP.
Best wishes,
Dirk.
