Honestly without proper editor support from a company like intelli-j, I just can't see myself picking it up. Hard to give up on the niceties it provides, especially when working on a non-static language I did try the third-party intelli-j plug-in but never got it to work If it had that... look out!

You are missing a lot of the best tech out there in the programming world if you are waiting for an IntelliJ-like IDE for each programming language.

Elixir-ls provides Language Server Protocol support as well as VS Code Debug Protocol support which gives extra powers to VS Code, NeoVim, Emacs, and the like. https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls https://github.com/elixir-lsp/elixir-ls I do agree that automated refactoring would be an amazing productivity improvement.

  Unless I did something wrong with my setup the elixir LS is kind of lackluster compared to a full IDE. It doesn't have any automatic refactoring (even variable renaming) nor does it provide automatic detection of syntax errors. It's pretty much just symbol lookup and some autocomplete functionality.

I really wish intelli-j provides a first-class editor. I could never get VSCode + ElixirLS to work smoothly. It's just broken. I have switched to NeoVim + plugins. It feels better mostly because of Vim's eco-system. But I am missing a lot of productivity due to lack of a good IDE.
