Claude Code gets native LSP support

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…

It's interesting that everyone is saying "please don't shove AI down our throat!". But when a company actually takes this approach (JetBrains IDEs treat AI just as a tool at the sidebar), everyone is like "JetBrains is doomed because it's not agent-native enough."

I do almost everything git manually at the CLI. But the Jetbrains IDEs have a fantastic GUI git merge tool, and I also like the local git diff UI. Add in integrated blame mode, ability to pull up version-diff files, and that sort of thing. It's not part of my daily driver toolbox, but they do get used a lot by me.

You made me realize that I actually do use it, since I often look at git blame and the past changes. And I like the (recent?) update in which the changes from current commit (not only stage) are coloured.

What boggles my mind is. I've been using OpenCode [1] which had this future for at least 6 months. I sometimes baffled by the slow progress of closed source software. Also highly recommend OpenCode you can also use it with your Claude subscription or Copilot one. [1]: https://opencode.ai/

I must be doing something wrong, because I can't get OpenCode to actually do anything useful, and not for lack of trying. Claude code gets me great results instantly, opencode (if I can't make it talk to a model, which isn't easy for Gemini) gets me… something, but it's nowhere near as useful as claude code. I don't know why there is so much difference, because theoretically there shouldn't be. Is it the prompt that…

Jetbrains seems a bit lost these days. Look at that very recent screw up [0]. I thought about moving after 10+ years when they abandoned the commit modal, and jacked up the plan prices, but I barely understand how to commit things in Vscode anyway. Let's see in 2026.

> I barely understand how to commit things in Vscode anyway Yeah that’s on you not even trying. Source control panel, add files or chunks, write message, commit.

You joke and folks downvote, but this is my biggest issue with WebStorm. I'm seriously considering switching for the first time in 16 years. Zed is quite snappy. The Claude Code integration in VS Code is brilliant. I've used the CLI in the JetBrains terminal. I had no idea I could revisit past conversations until I used the VS Code extension!

Zed is snappy in the same way that notepad ++ is snappy: If you don't support 10% of language features you can avoid the hard work. Unfortunately this means that non trivial projects have false positive errors everywhere.
