I am finding that AI assisted coding is greatly reducing my interest and reliance on "IDE" type features.

A back and forth "conversation" with Gemini with extreme amounts of copying/pasting/executing in Geany (a relatively simple editor) is now faster than whatever I was trying to do before, hopping between emacs and vim and IDES, etc.



I wish AI had more access IDE-type features such as renaming or moving methods to another class. Claude often makes mistakes here because it doesn't have all the fancy tooling and indexing that IntelliJ has.


Claude recently got LSP plugins


Ah, thank you. I missed this over Christmas.

I just don't turn on those features Thanks for making me look! You can actually also `Disable AI` altogether!
