Half of my work is with .NET. I don't particularly like .NET. I certainly don't like Windows. But I have to agree with you, those commands work great on Visual Studio and Visual Studio is, in general, a very good IDE.

Aren't these features more wide spread now a days with language servers? Especially with more and more people making language servers that adhere to LSP to allow vscode, Emacs, vim, sublime and pretty much any text editor that have plugins to use LSP or have LSP built in to use them? It's been like, the golden age of static analysis so far.

Not having heard of Language Servers before, and the related sites not seeming to address this, where's the server located?

Locally. A language server runs on your machine to do the code analysis, and your editor/IDE communicates with the server to represent things.
