I use the taglist plugin for vim -- is that the one you're referring to? 
It will list your functions and you can choose to jump to them.

It's nice, but I need something better than that. I need to, given a 
name in a source file (eg. a function call or class name), jump to that 
method or class's definition. Given a variable name, jump to its 
declaration. Given a class name jump to its definition.

Having this feature is really nice for productivity in large projects.. 
I got hooked when using Eclipse with Java projects.

If you find me a way to do this in vim I'll stick with it. But at the 
moment my code base is getting to be large and I'm spending a good deal 
of time opening files and finding the code associated with the functions.

Yeah that's no big deal but if the IDE can do it then great.

I'll try to be true to vim for as long as I can. :)
