I really can't understand why JetBrains hasn't integrated its refactoring tools into the AI system. Really missed the boat on making their platform transformational for AI coding. Imagine how much smaller the context would be for a tool that renames a function than editing hundreds of files. This LSP support is a good start but without the mutation functions it is still pretty lackluster. Plus LSPs aren't as good as…

Jetbrainz needs to give up on Junie and their in house ai and focus on integrating with the established tools. If they don’t, VS code will consume them.

there is a jetbrains MCP server that gives Claude Code access to this sort of thing, but I think its still fairly jank and bloats context.

I really enjoy Junie, I find it working better out of the box than Claude code. I do wish they integrated their amazing refactoring tools into it though.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you having a positive experience with Codex compared to Claude Code? Codex in my brief experience was... not good w/ 5.1

Just to provide another datapoint - tried codex September / October after seeing the glowing reviews here, and it was, all in all, a huge letdown. It seems to be very efficient context-wise, but at the same time made precise context-management much harder. Opus 4.5 is quite a magnificent improvement over Sonnet 4.5, in CC, though. Re tfa - I accidentally discovered the new lsp support 2 days ago on a side project in…

Another anecdote/datapoint. Same experience. It seem to mask a lot of bad model issues by not talking much and overthinking stuff. The experience turns sour the more one works with it.

And yes +1 for opus. Anthropic delivered a winner after fucking up the previous opus 4.1 release.

I mean, OpenCode has had this feature for a while: https://opencode.ai/docs/lsp/

It's a shame that my company tied itself to claude-code way too fast. It was like a single week last summer of, "oh what's everyone's favorite? claude? okay, let's go!"

OpenCode has been truely innovating in this space and is actually open source, and would naturally fit into custom corporate LLM proxies. Yet, now we've built so many unrulely wrappers and tools around claude-code's proprietary binary just to sandbox it, and use it with our proxy, that now I fear it's too late to walk back.

Not sure how OpenCode can break through this barrier, but I'm an internal advocate for it. For hobby projects, it's definitely my goto tool.

I find it so weird that people are so bullish on the CLI form factor when they are literally just adding functionality that IDE based agents get for free. Stuff like improved diff tools and LSP support in the terminal instead of idk... just using a GUI/IDE?

Pretty sure Cursor has had this for a while.

What IDE agent gets access to LSP?

I use Zed and unless there is some MCP server that provides the same thing as the LSP server, the Zed agent won't have access, even though it's in an IDE that supposedly has this information

I just saw a video of non-technical person describing how they use claude code to automate various workflows. They actually tried vscode and then the desktop gui.

Yet they preferred the CLI because it felt "more natural"

With agents, and Claude Code, we are *orchestrating* ... this is an unresolved UI/UX in industry. The same reasons `kubectl` didn't evolve to GUI probably apply here.

It's less about the codebase, more about the ability to conduct anything on the computer - you are closest to that in the terminal. https://backnotprop.com/blog/its-on-your-computer/
