It's like tags, but I like it better because it lets you search for the definition of a var, use of a var, etc. - as well as the general grep-like tags search. cscope can be used from a standalone console interface, or from within vim or emacs. That sourceforge.net link has info about getting up and running with vim and emacs. It was designed to parse C, but it works well for C++ and Java, and I use it for Verilog and x86 assembly as well.

For browsing code in the context of _data_ another tool that tends to be underused is a debugger: http://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/debugger/ Yes tags are great, though just good for browsing code (logic).
