You mean, with common IDE plugins, you end up with one implementation of refactoring functionality per IDE. That's what's being avoided here (because, for one thing, there are far more IDEs than you think, and they don't deserve to be second-class citizens.)

No, all IDEs could use the same AST backend.

Just like LSP. Just a more intelligent protocol.

You have one implementation of refactoring, instead of, as today, one per language.
