As an end user, one thing I care a lot about is if the dev env would be truly integrated. I want a one-click/command install of everything that I need for my vim to be a rust IDE. I tried in vscode and had to install two different plugins (one of which had a similar name to another and I had to go look up which one to install) python and then lldb using admin permissions which failed on my school computers .

Side: Has emacs been losing traction slowly? It's a third of vim!
