For me, my Emacs runs fine up till I try using lsp for java development and then it's a bloody nightmare. Currently, I'm being forced to resort to the indignity that is Eclipse as a result of that.

I'm frankly ready for a total reimagining of Emacs even if it means that extension support might be compromised for a while. The last time there was a major divide, we had XEmacs and a lot of the massive improvements that made eventually made it to mainline Emacs so it could only be a good thing for this project long term.

I've had good luck with meghanada mode for Java development but I still stick with idea most of the time (mainly because I haven't set up binds to build or do things automatically yet). Still, I have issues with emacs as an IDE sometimes. For example when doing python, I forget the backend I'm using right now, after having it running for a while a ton of processes start to get spun up and it stops being able to properly do code completions. I'm sure I could solve these problems, I just haven't yet since I usually restart emacs often anyways.
