What alternatives are there? Just recently there was a HN story about a great add-on for Emacs that would find the definition of a symbol. That's been in VS for a decade or two but open source editors apparently don't have it. Same goes for renaming things and having them automatically renamed everywhere else. Background compiler that underlines and even corrects your errors as you type - what else does that?

The thing you read about implements a different way to find definitions.
