Do people really use text search for this rather than an IDE that parses all of the code and knows exactly where each declaration is, able to instantly jump to them from a key press on any usage...? Wild.


Yes. Not everyone uses or likes an IDE. Also, when you lean on an IDE for navigation, there is a tendency to write more complicated code, since it feels easy to navigate, you don't feel the pain.
