> Protobuf now has modern IDE support for the first time
Weird post. I built IntelliJ protobuf support [1] while at Google like 10 years ago, and it started shipping by default with IntelliJ in ~2021. Maybe that's not considered "modern".

I wouldn't consider an IDE-specific integration very modern (in IDE terms) in the age of LSP.
Conversely, LSP is quite limited in comparison to what can be done with a real IDE integration in JetBrains product suite, so it is not so clear cut. See this post for some details: https://matklad.github.io/2023/10/12/lsp-could-have-been-bet...
Sure, but having a generic LSP that works with all editors vs. an editor specific integration is still a very different thing.
It's a bit odd for the parent commenter to say "Weird post" and implying that having an editor specific feature would somehow make having an LSP that works for everyone be any less interesting.
