You have to weigh the ease-of-access vs. IDE clutter though. For example I see people using linters that update automatically as you type (I think on Atom there isn't even an option to disable this if the packages are enabled) - which is frankly quite awful, when I'm writing the code I care a lot more about my thought process than being distracted by style complaints, there is a limited amount of context you can keep in mind at once, and subsidiary things shouldn't be actively wasting your time. At least for me git log -L<start>,<end>:<file> is usually preferable. That said it shouldn't be a hard tool to build for yourself if this is what you need.
