       @dalias while i don't use an ide, i do use neovim with a lsp for cmostly because i have a tendency to typo things and the "edit, save, compile, look at errors" loop is overwhelming to me, seeing only errors on the line (or around it) i'm working on helps a lot. also sometimes for auto-complete when function names are like namespaced plus long namesbut to me they're just aids, languages or frameworks that depend on such things to exist feels like they're going backwards: "oh those helpers exist therefore we can make the underlying thing complex as no one will interact with it" is the opposite way technologies should go imo

       @ska @dalias Yeah, can see that one with like not wanting to learn all the syntax of the language, like the difference between quotes in strings on whether they interpret variables, backslashes (and which ones), …I do like syntax highlighting as an aid though but having it present/absent depending on the machine, I know it's mostly just "did I properly close this quote?" at a glance and sometimes wish it would highlight unmatched parens. (Reminds me that I *hate* editors which adds brackets/parens for you as none of them seem to behave similarly)Rest could just be tossed out, specially keywords/type-name highlights because they go useless pretty fast and I don't want the ressource usage that full parsers have via language-servers have just so it's often more complete.
