Honestly, the tools developed out of VSCode have made my Emacs environment so much more powerful, and so much easier to set up for new languages.

With the language server protocol & debug adapter protocol, I can just plugin in a couple of servers and have a full-blown IDE environment that uses a consistent interface across multiple languages. I remember spending so much time trying out and setting up ctags, ggtags, irony, rtags, gdb-mi, etc...

I don't see myself switching to VSCode because I can just take the best features from VSCode and use them Emacs.

My issue with the language server protocol is that it takes away power from the editor rather then giving power to the editor. Eg. sending text-edit instructions rather then providing an API for code intelligence. And in turns it creates too much work for the language server as it has to both make static analysis while at the same time baby-sitting the editor. Meanwhile the language servers I've tested is only half complete and the editor need a great deal of glue code and extra functionality for each language server. Also the language server need to run on a server, it would be much better if it was script based so it could run on many platforms.
