XCode would randomly stop syntax highlighting for years because their engineering was so shit.

In the JetBrains IDEs (which, relatively speaking, I like), I have to use "Invalidate caches and restart" several times a day just to get past all the incorrect error highlighting.

Ah, is that the way to address that? I don't run into incorrect error highlighting often, and it's mostly great, but when it gets it wrong, it can be very stubborn about it.

It usually works, but it takes a few minutes to reprocess the files if your project or solution is big.
