gedit-classbrowser3g comes with additional parsers, so it supports more languages than ctags (XML, HTML, diff, Markdown). The ctags output format has some limitations for languages with nested definitions like Python. The gedit-source-code-browser-plugin can't show e.g. the relationship of function definitions inside functions. For gedit-classbrowser3g an Python parser was written, that further can show imports and instance attributes. An other difference is how the tags are sorted. The gedit-source-code-browser-plugin groups them by type (Classes, Variables, Members, Functions, …), gedit-classbrowser3g shows the tags in the order as they occur in the source. gedit-classbrowser3g provides menuitems to jump to next/previous tag and has a context menu in the sidepane. When the cursor moves in the editor, the tag is automatically selected in the sidepane and the subtree expanded.
