Difference with atags?

[George Teo]

Hi, I stumbled across your project and was curious about how it differs from atags: https://github.com/fntlnz/atags.vim
I'm also trying to find async alternative to easytags.

Hi

Seems to me that atags.vim only generates tagfiles, neotags.nvim generates tags and highlights them similar to easytags but asynchronously.

However you can use both with g:neotags_run_ctags = 0. Then neotags.nvim will only highlight tags. And you can use atags.vim to generate the files.
