What's so special about clangd?

I only had to silence a couple of unneeded warnings specific to codebase I was working with, which took under five minutes and that only because I finally got annoyed enough. Otherwise it took zero configuration (this was Kate though, but it doesn't matter, there is no clangd-specific default config there).

Basically that clangd needs an accurate compilation database to consume, which isn't a requirement for other language spaces.
