Just help improving it. There are many reasons to stick with something after a decade, especially something as powerful as emacs. LSP support is fixable.

I’m not interested in writing Emacs Lisp. It is not just the lack of LSP support, but also that after 6 hours of configuring, I don’t have an IDE that just works. VSCode, Zed and Neovim all have less legacy and fewer moving parts I need to be concerned about when starting from scratch.

In my opinion there is too much to fix for me to enjoy Emacs, compared to the alternatives.

That is a big ask when one could instead be productive using VSCode which has fantastic LSP support and use emacs or vim keybindings in that IDE for editing without having to retrain muscle memory.
