I am suggesting - vim + plugins or emacs + libraries that use those tools. All integrated as you say.

Your IDE also uses gdb or similar for debugging, common compilers like llvm for compilation / code indexing, common analyzers.

You will have references, definitions, code search, debug, completion, etc all within the editor (in my case emacs)

It all works great and much faster then out-of-the-box IDEs, works within terminal too... no x11 needed.

That still requires some fiddling initially to get it working but once you have your setup its a matter of just pushing it to docker.

Now... the drawback is the time spent to get it, but what i'm saying is don't be dismissive, try and imagine what's possible with old tools.

New tools are also nice in that they avoid that setup work, you can push these too in the docker container and use them the same way.
