Today I was really struggling with the missing support for any type of refactoring in the built-in editor for gdscript - search & replace doesn't count.
And the fact that you cannot move the debugger into a separate window (these value fields are so so small).

I ended up installing Rider. Which has a semi-working rename refactor for gdscript but a well working debugger and inspector. Hot reload works as well.

I hope this PR [1] makes it.

@themipper the lack of refactoring tools is a really huge pain point, i completely agree :/

@RedGlow yeah. My usual style is to start with a rapid prototype and once I know things work as I expect them to I start refactoring into more maintainable or extendable architecture.

Without refactoring tools this is really tedious and error prone.

What wouldn't I give for a gdscript resharper plugin.

I also really like the compactness and readability of gdscript and would like to stay with it.
