    Though not a traditional ide

  • practically any ide built in the last 30 years can do what you need...from micro to zed.

    what are you looking for exactly?

  • I find all of them slow especially when 3 language servers are running

  • Good, fast, easy for novices.

    Choose two.

    I use nvim and emacs.

  • Nvim is good but requires set up which now I delegate to Claude

    Emacs feels too slow and not good if you have carpel tunnel syndrome

  • Neovim is where it's at. You can use lazyvim which has tons of languages you can select to add LSPs for.

  • I use Emacs and ripgrep with the deadgrep plugin[0]. Emacs does have the `rgrep` command but the plugin presents a nicer interface. With no Emacs, I use `ripgrep` (sometimes with fd for the file candidates) and `less`.

    I only bother with LSP for projects I'm currently working on. Even then, I sometimes use `project-find-regexp` for whole codebase search.

    In Vim, I had the fzf plugin[1] with the command `:RG` bound to <leader>fg.
