A new adventure begins: I decided to write myself an IDE — https://gmi.skyjake.fi/gemlog/2024-12_jked.gmi

I made the “jked" editor 23 years ago. Since then the code has mostly been sitting unused. For the past two months, I've written 11K+ lines of code, expanding this former toy project to be a serious software development tool.

@jk It reminds me of the old days when an IDE meant using something like MultiEdit (on DOS). As you say "Programming is 99.9% text anyway, so being limited to a monospace presentation and character-based output isn't really much of an issue." and this is so true (and perhaps why I still use Sublime Text for some tasks). Perhaps you'd like LSPs a bit more if there was some option to have them run explicitly when you want and not constantly in the background.

@omz13

It would indeed be great to have control over the LSP daemon behavior. LSP does provide great value for making the programming process smoother.

There probably are some obscure options and logs one might peruse to see why a particular language server is behaving poorly, but as the end user in this scenario, I don't really care to dive that deep into it...
