Re: My perspective as a mid-level user on pros/cons of different editors

there's the fact that it's a nasty combinatorics problem. Pick a version of emacs (26 vs. 27 matters, although the setups probably don't differ too much), then:

 for each language you want to support, (many)

 for each OS/version, (at least 3)

There is no need to solve all variations of the problem in one step.

There could be packages like lsp-install-python-debian, lsp-install-_javascript_-windows, etc. where people would capture their experience of installing lsp support for the particular OS and language they use.  And when for a language there are variants for all major OSs then those could be packaged into a single parent package like lsp-install-python.

The important thing is capturing the method installation for the variants which can be done separately and if they work reliably then it's not hard to put them into a single package.

So people should start writing small packages of their particular installation variants and share those for other to use.
