This has been a standard feature of an IDE since forever; it's disappointing that the plain-text editor community has just cracked it.

What do you mean 'just'? It's been in emacs and vim as far back as I can remember. At least for C and C++.

"Just" as in it's being listed as a feature rather than a baseline expectation, I think is parent's point.

Define "just". I think plain text editors have been doing this for 30 years or more.
