I can't really compare because, well, I don't use JetBrains IDEs at all, but for supported languages, emacs-lsp does provide features like code completion, lookup, inline documentation…. It is the single biggest improvement to Emacs for me since I've started using it a long, long time ago. I can tell that it works very well for at least Python and Rust. I remember TypeScript support looked nice too, though I don't do much TypeScript these days.

It's not bad for Go either. The only issue is that gopls is still considered alpha, so it's not the most stable thing out there, but that's not Emacs's problem.

I've been using gopls with lsp-mode for a while and it's been working great, I haven't had any stability problems.

Very true - gopls has come a long way. I should note I use it every day in lsp-mode when I'm writing Go. Hiccups are much less common now than, say, a year ago.
