Is that as true any more with the language server model?

I'm not familiar enough with it to know how much is truely in the protocol vs what the editor still has to do themselves.



LSPs are great, I think they've proven fairly easy to integrate into many text editors. But consider something like the Scratch programming language. How many editors support Scratch? Once you stray from code-as-text, adding support to old editors often becomes infeasible and the effort needed to create new editors is a significant barrier to entry.
