the message is annoying:
easytags.vim 3.11: Plug-in not loaded because Exuberant Ctags isn't installed! On Ubuntu & Debian you can install Exuberant Ctags by installing the package named `exuberant-ctags': sudo apt-get install exuberant-ctags
is there a knob to disable easytag auto load when ctag is not installed or recognized?
