All those tags options require a gen tags file step that is completely inadequate and cumbersome

  That step can be completely automated. You could also use something like the dumb-jump package which doesn't even require a tags file. It's not perfect, but it suits the needs of a lot of people.

    ...or you could just use the editor that does what you need out of the box. Yes, emacs is great but many people will go with less friction.

      "...or you could just use the editor that does what you need out of the box." If your needs are simple enough that you don't need Emacs, more power to you. Some people are happy programming in Notepad because it does all they need -- or all they think they need.
