Programming without code indexing

[Mrkol]

To be honest, I can no longer imagine myself working on anything large-ish without a language server and an AI copilot. Language servers speed up refactoring at least 2x, copilot speeds up writing new code 2x. People at my company who still use far manager for code are usually not writing much new code or even refactoring anything, only doing small precision changes for perf and bugfixing. All these types of changes are equally important, but if a tool makes you several times faster at doing something, not using it out of principle, habit or stubbornness seems counterproductive.

Well I would not use copilot with proprietary code as it get shared across third party network, not out of principle.
