c++-support in kdevelop-3.4.1 can lookup macros as well as 
variable-definitions, even such that ctags cannot lookup because it only 
processes a specific directory. Also ctags cannot respect the context, so I 
don't see why ctags should be superior in any way to language support.

Of course kdevelop-3.4's c++ support is limited, but I don't see where ctags 
should be superior, and kdevelop-4's c++ support will probably be a lot 
better.

Then we should analyze that case and see how we can solve it with our own 
system. :-)

Ok, for other languages than C++ I can see that it could become useful..
