I also lived in ctags land, but gosh I don’t miss it. LSPs are a step change, and most languages do have either an actual implementation or something similar enough that’s still more powerful than bare strings.

It’s faster, too, as the model doesn’t need to scan for info, but again it really likes to try not to use it.

Of course I still use rg and fd to traverse things, cli tools are powerful. I just wish LLMs could be made to use more powerful tools reliably!
