I’ve used aider to understand new codebases using technologies I don’t know and it did a fantastic job; much faster than grep/find + google.

To be fair in a world of good LSP impls, grep/find are really primative tools to be using. Not saying this isn't better then a more sophisicated editor setup, just that grep and find are a _really_ low bar

Personally I don't like the fragility/IDE-specificity of a lot of LSP setups.

I wish every language just came with a good ctags solution that worked with all IDEs. When this is set up properly I rarely need more power than a shortcut to look up tags.
