I've used the ctags plugin for Sublime Text and it's pretty damn awful. Maybe it's just with PHP, but it seems to look only at symbol names and doesn't do any static analysis of the code, so if I have several functions named the same thing in various files ctags has no idea which one it should look up. It's also not up-to-the-second. It has to re-run an analysis of the whole project to update its db. It doesn't update it's cache as you edit a file. Not sure if that's ctags in general or just the ST2 plugin. Still, the point the author is making is that to make VIM useable you have to use a lot of plugins to get what you want while many IDEs provide it out of the box without the user needing to figure out what plugins/addons/scripts/config files to setup to get it to work.
