antlr

I've worked on Flex, Bison few years ago during my undergraduate studies. However, I don't remember much about it now. Recently, I have come to hear about Antlr. Would you recommend that I learn Antlr or better to brush up Flex/Bison. Does Antlr have more/less features than Flex/Bison ?

Thanks,
