i notice one of the supported languages is go -- if you're doing much go, i recommend installing godef and using go-mode.el. no tags files or anything like that, and works perfectly well for jumping to definition.
(i also highly recommend gorename and guru.)
Still learning VIM user here, do we have something like this?
What do people use to get something like this for C/C++? Also is there any package for auto-completion in C/C++?
I wrote an article that should be introduction to CEDET: http://alexott.net/en/writings/emacs-devenv/EmacsCedet.html - maybe it will be useful
I must be missing something, but what is the advantage of this over something like Emacs Tags ( https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsTags ) ?
Ah yes, yet another proof that the Wrong Thing™ isn't necessarily the wrong thing. Sure it's objectively worse than [ce]tags, but haven't you heard? Worse is Better. :-D

If you're going to install ag, you might as well install universal-ctags[1], a revival of ctags with many improved and new parsers. It allowed me to discard my C and javascript ctags config entirely.
Combined with gutentags[2] you have a "just works" and "Less Dumb" setup.
Respond to this comment if you need pointers on how to set things up.
For C/C++ RTags ( https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags ) together with company-mode and fly-check can do jump-to-definition, auto-completion and on-the-fly-syntax-checking. Super easy to use if using cmake as build system. Respond to this comment if you need pointers on how to set things up.
