So you're using the IDE for review? The main features you need are around simple things like reading files, tracking git changes, things like that?

That's a small subset of the functionality you would need if you're actually authoring code. So the IDE maybe be more valuable, but the feature set you need is actually much smaller and can probably be redesigned given your narrow workflow.

Is this accurate?

Sure, but my IDE does these simple things very well.

Just some important things off the top of my head that I use daily:

* Instantly jumping between definitions and usages

* Folding and unfolding code blocks

* Quick overview of structures in files

* Database access, so I can browse the data and the code at the same time

Also, sometimes I just want to quickly refactor/rename some variable across all its usages or whatever. It's just quicker to do it in the IDE with a simple keyboard shortcut, rather than prompting an agent "rename oldName to newName".
