I'm using Emacs as my main development tool since more than a decade. In recent years, the improvements around language server tooling, especially lsp-mode [1], makes setting emacs up for different environments and languages a lot simpler. I regularly dabble around with Jetbrain tools mostly to compare if I'm missing out on something but I mostly don't find that to be the case.

And in some areas emacs is just better than other tools in my opinion. E.g. I consider emacs-cider [2] to provide the best Clojure development experience.

I would love lsp-mode with auto-complete integration to be an official package. It is still abit too clunky to get going even though it got better. Also pulling in clangd for c autocomplete feels abit heavy ...

This is what got me into Emacs in the first place. I kept hearing that Emacs was far and away the best Clojure editor. I resisted for a while, but when I finally caved and tried it (using doom emacs), I was blown away.
