Yes, many nice features are missing.
I mean, you have to code your themes, therefore you have to know much stuff about the editor. In many IDEs you can just load a them and get a config UI that lets you fine-tune it.

Emacs has extensive preference setting functionality. There's lots of fine-grained configuration you can do, including themes, colors and fonts, without writing a line of elisp.
That said, elisp is fun to learn, no harder than JavaScript, and you can get pretty far customizing Emacs knowing just the basics.
Are you talking about themes in Emacs? Because if so, that statement is definitely not correct.
You can code your themes (and sometimes I do!), but it's definitely not the standard or only way of doing it.
If you're talking about Atom... Thanks for the info :)
He may be thinking about that?
