If OP wants to compare Emacs to Visual Studio and Jetbraines IDE's, then we are going to compare features.

Go ahead comparing apples and oranges, what can I say.

OP literally said emacs has extensions IDE's will never have.

I've never seen an IDE with an equivalent to smart-dash-mode:

That's nice, dear. Can you work with .vcxproj files?

[NateEag]

Deflect much?

If you know of an IDE that has anything like smart-dash-mode, I'd be very interested to hear about it.
