<h1>Exuberant Ctags User Feedback</h1>

<ul>

<li><b><i>23 Jul 2004</i></b>
    <p>
    Exuberant ctags is incredible!  It is making my life so much easier.  I
    told my friends about it and they love it too.
    </p>
    <p>
    Thank-you!
    </p>

    I've been extending support for the D programming language (you gave me a
    diff a while back) and going over this code its the cleanest C-code I've
    ever seen!  Adding support is a breeze , they should use this code to
    teach :).  Mas limpio amigo.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>13 Aug 2003</i></b>
    <p>
    I want to thank you for the support and also say that your ctags is a very
    good tool. I haven't seen any other similiar free software yet that's
    nearly as clean and useful for this problem.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>20 Mar 2003</i></b>
    <p>
    Ctags is great and i've been using it for years in c/c++ projects.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>17 Mar 2003</i></b>
    <p>
     Every since I have started working on a large C++ application
     (over 600 src files) I have become a devoted user of ctags.
    </p>

    Hi Darren, congratulations on ctags!  It's a wonderful tool.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>14 Nov 2002</i></b>
    <p>
    I am using ctags in my development since a long time. And I am addicted to
    its use.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>13 Nov 2002</i></b>
    <p>
    Thank you for writing ctags! Ever since I started using ctags together
    with vim a couple of weeks ago to keep track of the sources we're writing,
    it's become nearly indispensable. Instead of grepping through sources to
    find where subroutines are defined, I can just double-click on an
    identifier and jump to the right place. Then Ctrl+T takes me back to where
    I was.
    </p>

    <p>
    All this only possible because of tags files... and ctags is configurable
    enough that it can parse not only C but also such things as JAM screens in
    ASCII format or our programs' message file format. And because the source
    was available, I could hack it to recognise the brand of Fortran that is
    in use in the legacy code we maintain... the default Fortran mode didn't
    work (probably because of extensions in the implementation).
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>23 Sep 2002</i></b>

    Thanks for the fix - very quick!!  Ctags is a great tool, and the support
    is impressive :)
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>28 Aug 2002</i></b>
    <p>
    Thank you (and all those who helped you) for a wonderful
    program.  I have used it _many_ times to navigate through c/c++
    code (using vim) and was very pleased to learn today that it
    supports python code too (if only I had learned this 3 years ago
    ... oh well <g>).
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>2 Mar 2002</i></b>
    <p>
    Great work on ctags, I use it everyday and is an invaluable tool to a
    programmer.
    </p>

<li><b><i>14 Nov 2001</i></b>
    <p>
    I really like the Exuberant Ctags program.  We [are] all indebted to
    Darren Hiebert for providing us with such a fine program.
    </p>

<li><b><i>5 Nov 2001</i></b>
    <p>
    CTags is great. I use it all the time now, and I
    have no idea how I got by without it before.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>3 Nov 2001</i></b>

    First of all, let me thank you for Exuberant Ctags.  I use this on a daily
    basis and couldn't imagine life without it.

    Your Ctags is by far the best ctags around.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>29 May 2001</i></b>
    <p>
    Hi, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your ctags
    implementation. I have used it for a few months now, and I can safely say
    it rocks! I have introduced it to everyone at work, and we're all ecstatic
    about it. People use it for Java, ASP, JavaScript and SQL development.
    Thanks to the ingenious plug-and-play support for adding parsers, I had no
    trouble adding parsers for JavaScript and SQL....
    </p>
    <p>
    CTags is now one of the programs I could not survive without, so once
    again, a big thank you!

<li><b><i>15 Apr 2001</i></b>
    <p>
    BTW very impressive tool - I started using it with vim at work after
    seeing the 5.0 announcement and have found it a "must have".
    </p>
    <p>[<i>United Kingdom</i>]</p>
</li>

<li><b><i>27 Feb 2001</i></b>
    <p>
    I want to thank you again for ctags.  It keeps getting better and better;
    I get so used to the development environment made possible by tags in our
    C source, it's a blessing to be able to use the same habits whether it's
    C, perl, shell, or whatever.
    </p>

<li><b><i>2 Feb 2001</i></b>
    <p>
    Couldn't live w/o ctags. I don't know how I went so long without it.
    </p>

<li><b><i>26 Sep 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    In a new job and new to Unix, I was afraid I would have to write my own
    source analysis tools. Disappointed that the default version of ctags failed
    to properly identify the oddly formatted function definitions in my source I
    was thrilled to find your Exuberant Ctags! The clouds have parted and the
    sun is peeking through.
    </p>

    <p>
    Thank you for your kind contribution to the free software library. Know that
    your work continues to make my life a little easier. I appreciate this.
    </p>

    <p>
    May lady luck shine on you.

    Hi,
    </p>

    <p>
    you mention on your web site that you've had no reports of your program
    being used in Antarctica, guess what?
    </p>

    <p>
    I work for the British Antarctic Survey on software which runs a
    scientific radar system down at Halley (76 south, 26 west), Antarctica.
    The radar is controlled by a huge and complex system called Radops, on top
    of the QNX operating system.
    </p>

    <p>
    Basically ctags makes writing new software and maintaining the system much
    easier, thanks.  I had previously relied on a horrible system of scripts
    to find function definitions.
    </p>
    <p>[<i>Antarctica</i>]</p>

<li><b><i>4 Jul 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    Thank U for the fact to support Python in ctags.
    </p>
    <p>
    Recently I was puzzled in the case that I can't use ctags in python old
    version.
    </p>
    <p>
    When I visited your site, I got the bright hope!!
    </p>
    <p>
    I'm the fan of CTAGS!!
    </p>
    <p>
    May the force with U.
    </p>
    <p>[<i>Korea</i>]</p>
</li>

<li><b><i>23 Jun 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    I've been a VIM user for years (and a VI user for a long time), and
    finally today I decided to play w/ the ctags that came w/ my RedHat
    6.1 installation, and I was impressed to say the least, I kicked
    myself for not using it before.
    </p>

    <p>
    Then I found out (on Freshmeat.net) that there was a new version (4.0)
    with some more languages supported. Downloaded it, compiled and tested
    it w/ some awk and python code, worked great. And as I am a PHP-head,
    I stole some of the code from the awk and the python files and made a
    file to process php classes and functions, nothing revolutionary, but
    it works.
    </p>

    <p>
    Your code is clear, so even a dumb programmer like me could figure out
    what was going on, modified the appropriate files, and got the
    modified ctags working in under half and hour. I am including the
    "<code>diff -c</code>" files so you can patch your code.
    </p>

    <p>
    When I get some more time to play w/ ctags (downloaded at 2:50am, it
    is 3:30am now), I'll add more to the <code>php.c</code> so it'll recognize
    methods, variable definitions, etc.
    </p>

    <p>
    Great tool man!
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>12 Jun 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    First, LOVE ctags!!!
    Now that I've buttered you up ... just kidding ... I LOVE ctags!� ;-)
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>05 Jun 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    First, thanx for producing the useful CTAGS tool.  My colleagues and I use
    it all the time, and it comes in very handy when reviewing software source
    files that have been written by others.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>16 May 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    First let me thank you (over and over again) for the Exuberant ctags
    you've written for the variety of platforms.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>10 May 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    Thank you for the wonderful ctags program. I'm using it
    for a parser I'm writing that works with C/C++ code....
    </p>
    <p>
    PS. I know you've heard this several times also, but your
    code is really easy to read, and makes the whole process of
    understanding so much... nicer. Thanks again.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>10 Apr 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    Thanks for doing such a wonderful job; this ctags is *FAR* superior to the
    stock one that came with the system (HP-UX).
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>02 Feb 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    Exuberant ctags is just what I have been looking for for ages - I have
    been trying to do it all in Perl (albeit wrongly no doubt with numerous
    regex's) but I must say ctags is spot on!
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>26 Jan 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    I've been looking at your code, and I'm very impressed, and I'm not easily
    impressed.
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>13 Jan 2000</i></b>
    <p>
    Your ctags utility allows for much better software engineering practices -
    and without being tied to the heavyweight utilities provided by compiler
    manufacturers. We will be using ctags as a major component for our C++
    build process. It now allows us to define error and message enumerators on
    a per-class basis rather than as a global resource. Also, many thanks for
    your very prompt attention in the whole area of technical support.

<li><b><i>08 Dec 1999</i></b>
    <p>
    Thank you very much for taking on the task of looking after ctags. It is
    really very much appreciated. My company are planning on using ctags for
    many of our software maintenance and development tasks. After all this
    </p>
    <p>[<i>United Kingdom</i>]</p>

<li><b><i>07 Dec 1999</i></b>
    <p>
    I've been using Exuberant Ctags for awhile now.  It's really great,
    useful program.  I've integrated tag-hyperlinking into my editor, and
    I'm now addicted to tags.  I've written my own tags programs for
    various assembly languages (simple to parse) using Perl.

    Many thanks for making the ctags package freely available. Its a
    great package. I particularly like the C++ support. I'm working on
    a telecommunications system with approximately 150 C++ classes.
    Being able to immediately get to the definition of C++ items
    easily and quickly via ctags makes work a joyful experience.

<li><b><i>19 Mar 1999</i></b>
    <p>
    I use your ctags here at work, and wanted to thank you for writing such a
    nice software package.  I like it so much more than the normal ctags
    program.... Thank you so much for writing such a great package!
    </p>
</li>

<li><b><i>05 Mar 1999</i></b>
    <p>
    I am just glad that such great software is avaiable out there.  Most ctags
    on Unix simply blow chunks!  Yours is absoulutely fantastic and has saved
    me numerous hours of wasted time. I have even managed to get the project
    managament here to make it sort of a standard, though it had to be
    installed as vtags so it would not confuse the curmudgeons still using the
    broken ctags that comes with the system.  When used with vim, it works
    absolutely fantastic.  I hope I am not gushing here. :)

    In better news, I'm trying to convert all the developers here (30+) to use
    ctags-3.0. Just finding enumeration fields will probably be enough for any
    of us to switch!

    Hi....
    </p>
    <p>
    Thank you very much for your quick reply
    and detail explanation.
    </p>
    <p>
    Since I received your mail I have spent time to make simple shell
    script which should be executed in root hierarchy in project, create 2
    files ( one for making "tags" in root hierarchy and subdirectories
    previously listed, the other is ".vimrc" file for setting VIM to update
    necessary "tags" files when program source file is saved ), and making
    symbolic link of .vimrc to each subdirectories. It's simple for veteran,
    As for me, novice in shell script, It's an excellent accomplishment.
    </p>
    <p>
    I used to think before that the internet is for someone who find
    sexual things and for someone who earns money by less productive way.
    But I am changing my mind by someone like you who use internet to make
    better world. Thank you again.....

    program completely kicks ass, if you'll pardon me for saying so.  :)

    Well done on producing a very decent version of ctags. I use it at work

    Thanks for Exuberant Ctags - it is quite an improvement over ctags,
    even gnu ctags.

</li>

<li><b><i>24 Sep 1998</i></b>
    <p>
    I just spent the last few days integrating your Ctags program into our
    build environment here.  On NT, Visual C++'s browse files don't work
    because our project is too large.  So, I wrote a plug-in for Visual Studio
    to use a tags file instead.  We are traditionally a Unix house and use
    tags elsewhere.  Anyway, Ctags goes through our source in about 8 minutes
    and generates a 20meg+ tags file (with lots of options turned off).
    That's pretty impressive speed and thoroughness.
    <p>
    </p>
    Thanks a lot for creating a great tool!
    </p>

    <p>
    I would like to congradulate you on your implementation of Exuberant Ctags.
    </p>
    <p>
    I have added master tag files for everything in /usr/include and I have
    a cron job to build master tag files for the linux kernel(which makes for
    highly productive hack sessions when you have nearly the entire kernel
    at your fingertips). I often wonder how I got along for so many years
    without it! In fact, I have converted users of the dreaded Microsoft(tm)
    MSDEV(tm) IDE(probably a TM here too) to VIM-5.0 for NT(tm) along with
    your implmentation of ctags because it was easier for them to navigate
    around the code!
    </p>
    <p>
    Now, whenever I use a ctags that isn't yours, I feel crippled in my ability
    to write good code quickly. I love your enhancments to it.
    </p>
    <p>
    Please keep up the good work! The world needs people like you.
    </p>
    <p>
    [<i>And later...</i>]
    </p>
    <p>
    I love the fact that if one really hates some piece of software, they
    can get third party stuff written by people like you that are ten times
    better than the original product.
    ...Anyway. Once again, I thank you for writing such a valuable piece
    of art, and that is really what it is.

    Software Engineering and Data Structures courses at school -- coupled with
    VIM this is a truly fantastic combo that saved my... er, *gluteus m.* on
    several occasions!  Thanks SO much for a truly great program.

    Subject: exuberant ctags rocks!

    ...gnu ctags didn't know squat about variables, structures, enums... etc.
    </p>
    <p>
    After doing a search on the web for 'ctags' I found your
    extended ctags.  What a lifesaver.  This thing does almost
    everything a person could ask for.
    </p>
    <p>
    It rocks, it rocks, it rocks.

    Hello.  One of my users told me about your ctags package.  They tell me
    its great stuff.
    </p>

    I've just begun using your ctags program and it is indeed wonderful!

    Wow!
    </p>
    <p>
    I've been a vi/vim/ctags user for about 12 years now. Most of
    those 12 years I've been frustrated by various tags generators and
    wished someone would combine all the different features into a single
    program. And have it work. I've never found the time/energy to tackle
    that one (I've tackled enough other extracurricular programming). But,
    now you've done it! And in a big way!
    </p>
    <p>
    Hats off, I bow to you and send many grateful thanks.
    </p>

    Your new ctags is very very excellent.  Usually if I want to insert the
    <code>enum</code>'ed variable into tags file, I always had to
    "<code>grep/awk/grep/awk/grep/awk/</code>", then "<code>:%!sort</code>"
    in vi... a lot of trouble to me.  Furthermore, it can give me all the
    global variables, how excellent your package is!  And another thing.. is
    If a source file is something like this,
    <code>typedef void (*func_t)(const char **b, int c);</code>
    Then other ctags gives me a very very strange results to me, on the
    contrary your ctags gives me exact results.

    I only downloaded your package about 2 hours ago, so there must be a lot
    of new improvement that I didn't find out yet.

    ...your ctags and your advice have and will save me countless hours
    hunting down defines, functions, etc. Koodos for the effort and keep up
    the good work.

    I've downloaded your ctags- it is great!!!  I have been pulling my hair
    out trying to figure out how to do some of this.  The macros and extern'ed
    functions are very, very helpful.  Also, I'd like to complement your on
    your coding style: very consistent and fairly easy to read.  It definitely
    shows when a software developer feels pride in their work.

    I use `ctags' on ugly source codes thus your version is very helpful.
    Thank you!

    My initial impression (after 5 minutes use) is that it works better than
    the solaris ctags. Excellent tool!

    People will want to get Vim just because it includes such a fine ctags
    program!

    Glad to see a major improvement of the (already) best ctags.

    First let me thank you for the ctags program. It handles finding of tags
    better than every other ctags I've used so far.

    Wow!  I've just tried this out, and despite being the very first beta
    release of this program, it already seems to be the best ctags program
    I've seen.  Up to now I have been using the ctags that came with elvis,
    and I've just compared the output "tags" files.
    </p>
    <p>
    The elvis ctags had lots of little tags for things that shouldn't have had
    tags (e.g. "<code>if</code>", "<code>return</code>", "<code>TRUE</code>",
    etc.), but this new ctags doesn't produce tags for those.  It does find
    several tags though that the elvis ctags could not (e.g.
    "<code>insstr</code>" in the vim code!).
    </p>
    <p>
    [<i>And later...</i>]
    <p>
    Wow!  All the bugs I reported last time have been fixed :-)  It does
    indeed seem very robust now.  Well done!
