The last three are > 99% interoperable, Exuberant ctags is a quite different file format. A bit of clarification: exuberant ctags provides full support for all tags-based mechanisms in (x)emacs. There are some issues with the default settings for some customization, but it is easily tweaks. I highly recomend exuberant ctags as it provides comprehensive support for a vast number of languages. See the exuberant ctags FAQ for more information on these (x)emacs-related issues: http://ctags.sourceforge.net/faq.html Joe Kiniry
