Do you trust 'jump to definition'. Obviously it depends on the language server, but it's best effort. I'm often frustrated when it doesn't work, because I broke the code in some way. Or it jumps to a specific definition, but there are multiple. If I was as quick at opening and reading files as claude code, I'd prefer grep with context around the searched term.
It depends, for some languages 'jump to definition' tools ask the same compiler/interpreter that you use to build your code, so it's as accurate as it gets, and it's not 'best effort'.
It also depends a bit on your project, some project are more prone to re-using names or symbols.

Well, Claude probably also doesn't want to have to 'learn' how to use all kinds of different tools for different languages and eco-systems.
In ViM with the CoC code completion plugin JTD gives me multiple options when there are many and I can choose the sensible one in a popover before the actual jump occurs.
