To be fair, ripgrep is approximately one decade old, would be tricky to have used it for decades.

A programmer's editor. However with the right plugins, you get the same IDE capabilities for code searching in Java, C#, C++,...

Which basically runs an IDE headless (Eclipse, Netbeans, VS services,...), the joy of running an IDE + Electron, get to put those cores to use.

Has there been a general gentle decline in IDEs over the past 15 years or is it just me?

Maybe for a generation that has learnt to program with IDE poorly supported languages.
