If only Visual Studio/C++ used AST! At least in Visual Studio 2012/C++, context sensitive search doesn't often work at all. Try to get context for something common like ".create". You get a lot of non-context hits, even thousands. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Maybe this doesn't happen in VS2013? In most other IDEs context sensitivity is better, but I still fall back to command line in Linux. It's just so much faster (for me). I get what I want in about 0.1 to 3 seconds and can easily search near (grep -A and -B switches) these context hits with '/' in "less".
Git grep is great too.
Regardless, if it works for you, great. We should all use what works and disregard needless debate and politics.
