Yes ok. And legacy code might be a good example where grep works well, if it's fair to argue a greater propensity for things like preprocessors, older languages

Yes ok. And legacy code might be a good example where grep works well, if it's fair to argue a greater propensity for things like preprocessors, older languages and custom builds that may not play as well with semantic-level tools, let alone be written with modern tooling in mind.
- gregjor 2y agoLol, I'm not working with COBOL or Fortran. Legacy code in my world means the original developers have left, not that it dates from the 1970s. Mostly I work with PHP, shell scripts, various flavors of SQL, Python, sometimes Rails or other stuff. All things modern LSPs can handle.
