The standardization that LSP brings is nice, but from a user's point of view it's pretty terrible compared to existing custom solutions. At least for the few languages I tried; Scala and Haskell. The feature set supported was very small compared to what existing integrated editors supported, it was slower and less reliable.




Yeah, I should have added for some languages. For me, Python is better with LSP than it was with Elpy, the custom Python support for Emacs.

But it's certainly not going to beat something lime SLIME for Common Lisp and obviously not editing Emacs Lisp within Emacs.


Yeah, I was going to come say something like this. LSP is much better than the status quo for most languages, but SLIME is so much better there's just no comparison.
