Queue the old adage ... "Emacs is a great operating system, what it needs is a good editor." I'm not sure there is a rigid enough definition of IDE to say whether Emacs qualifies or not. I think it does by virtue of its extensibility, but I could definitely see a legit argument that it's merely an editor because it doesn't have a lot of the tooling of something more modern. I think what you consider to be an IDE (Int…
I realize my definition is purely subjective in that I deal with Visual Studio and VS Code almost exclusively and that the VS Code team is instant that they make an editor and not IDE. For me an IDE has graphical tools for building UIs and other workflow items as well as language-specific compilers and tools built in. Like I said, subjective based on my experience (and my experience doesn't include Emacs).
Re: Claude Code IDE integration for Emacs
#34I apologize for my ignorance in asking this question but is Emacs considered an IDE? I thought that was a term reserved for large, graphical editors like IntelliJ, Eclipse, or Visual Studio.
So if you want it to be, yes and with a lot of support out of the box these days.

#35Anyone have good results with something similar for Neovim?

Re: Claude Code IDE integration for Emacs
#36Lately I've been seeing a lot of derision from the Emacs community of the consideration for integrating these kinds of tools with Emacs, but I truly think that's much more hurtful than helpful. Although the current development and usage of AI in software development may not closely resemble the techniques used at the time, it seems to me that Emacs' history is inextricably linked to the MIT AI Lab. It feels weird the…
In the meantime this delaying didn't stop the non-free alternatives, but it did slow down adoption of the core project. This is attrocious project management that is driving people to non-free software. In the most egregious cases (bzr and CI build farm), it was done only because of his ego and wanting the FSF to matter.

Can you prompt it? A bit manual, but hey. I wonder if you can script visual selection in Neovim to output full file path plus line number range, for direct copy paste.
" look at neovim at this network socket and get current selection"
This actually works :)

This is due to Richard Stalllman. He thinks that integrating "non-free" alternatives when free alternatives don't yet exist slows down free software development. Not just free as in freedom alternatives, not just free as in GPL licensed, but free as in FSF controlled projects. He did the same thing with linking extensions to GCC, LLVM debugger integration into emacs (fuzzy on that one), possibly treesitter into emacs…

I think that’s a decent approach, but doesn’t the performance of a Neovim terminal bother you? It simply does not feel as good as a native terminal pane. It’s not as bad as VSCode’s terminal pane, but it still leaves something to be desired.
The main annoyance is dealing with newlines
