However, emacs is a fucking mess, and there is a reason "init.el bankruptcy" is a thing and why the most popular way to use emacs is through various frameworks such as doom or spacemacs.
In emacs, nearly everything can(and often does) mess with everything else. It is serious integration hell to actually get things to work together, and the work that goes into e.g. doom is basically all about managing that complexity through good abstractions and more rigid ways to configure and install things.
Emacs is also objectively dogshit in a lot of ways compared to most modern editors. LSP is ridiculously slow and a constant source of performance issues, many of which are probably directly related to emacs internals. Eglot seems to do better but it's a lot more limited(you can't use multiple language servers together, for example). Then there's things like the buffer being the data-structure for everything, which is sort of like modeling nearly everything as one long string. Things that would be trivial to do in most other languages or contexts are difficult and error-prone in emacs.
