Neovim users, how do you explore a new codebase? In code I wrote, I’m pretty fast but in unfamiliar codebases I’m still much better with vs code

When exploring a new codebase, I usually start by grepping for key terms or functions to get a lay of the land. Then I'll dive into the main files and start tracing the flow of the code. Sometimes I'll use ctags or language-specific plugins to help me navigate faster. As much as I love Neovim for my own code, I have to admit that VS Code's IntelliSense and built-in debugger make it a better tool for exploring unfamiliar codebases. It just feels more user-friendly and intuitive in those situations.
