You have to weigh the ease-of-access vs. IDE clutter though.<p>For example I see people using linters that update automatically as you type (I think on Atom there isn&#x27;t even an option to disable this if the packages are enabled) - which is frankly quite <i>awful</i>, when I&#x27;m writing the code I care a lot more about my thought process than being distracted by style complaints, there is a limited amount of context you can keep in mind at once, and subsidiary things shouldn&#x27;t be actively wasting your time.<p>At least for me git log -L&lt;start&gt;,&lt;end&gt;:&lt;file&gt; is usually preferable.<p>That said it shouldn&#x27;t be a hard tool to build for yourself if this is what you need.
