Will this make intellisense better, such as in VSCode?

Wow, this is great to hear because I cannot wait until an LSP is backed into Elixir ecosystem.

Yes, likely replacing 3 existing LSPs for Elixir with a single one that takes the best ideas and team!
But you can get a pretty decent (of course YMMV) experience today with VSCode and one of the LSPs, e.g. ElixirLS.

There is (was?) another effort for adding Elixir code smarts to the Jetbrains family of editors GitHub - KronicDeth/intellij-elixir: Elixir plugin for JetBrain's IntelliJ Platform (including Rubymine) · GitHub
I’m not sure what the project’s or the author’s status is, but maybe there’s things in there worth ‘borrowing’ that none of the other plugins have managed to focus on yet.
Anyone has experience with intellij-elixir?

This is not an effort, this is a great extension that was working extremely well for years before other language servers became as polished as they are currently. The project has a little downtime and lacks support for the newest OTP/elixir releases as the there is a new maintainer, expect for things to improve very soon.
Back in the day, the plugin was almost entirely written in Java, a completely different approach to what elixir-ls and lexical took, so the ideology behind how they aim to work might be completely different. These days I see that there are 30%+ of elixir code, but they might be just tests.

Had an idea for a LSP feature (happy to redirect it somewhere else if this thread isn’t the right forum):
Would it be possible to provide auto-complete when adding something to a pipeline, based on the type/structure of the value being piped in?
For example, if I type [1, 2, 3] |>, it’d be cool if a dropdown pops up giving me suggested functions from the current scope that take a list as the first argument. Feel like this would help a lot for discoverability and save me from needing to remember whether a function I’m looking for is defined on “List” or “Enum” or some other module.
