When people talk about federated systems, they frequently compare with email. Email has been successfully distributed, but I think it's an outlier. It's rare, especially today, for popular tech to be distributed with multiple implementations.

Should code completion offer private methods/fields?
If the user chooses a private method, you can offer a quickfix to change its visibility. It's clutter though.
I frequently find myself wanting fields that I haven't exposed yet, and frustrated that the IDE hides them.
I frequently find myself running:
$ slowish
$ slowish | jq
$ slowish | jq | grep
I feel there must be a better way to build up pipelines incrementally without re-running.
I could save each output to a file, but it's more verbose, and most of these tools have nicer output when stdout is a TTY.
Sometimes programming tools are so good that you miss them when using other languages. I see these mentioned the most frequently:
* IntelliJ (for Java)
* Slime+Emacs (for Common Lisp)
* Pharo (for Smalltalk)
I'm struck that they all have bespoke UIs.
