Lex covered it more thoroughly I guess, but it basically simply boils down to having two very similar yet different codebases. Ultimately we'd like to make it a lot easier to share work, but it requires work on both ends, as we also have features not present in U-CTags, mostly the ability to parse in-memory data (ctags is really a command-line tool, but we wanna use it as a library). So… in the end the only reason is that work is needed to get to the point where we can simply upgrade out U-CTags copy to get the new stuff.
