Who's behind this survey / it's not clear to me from looking at the survey page. Also kind of odd for a survey about Emacs to require nonfree JavaScript.
Does anyone have an example of emacs achieving parity with JetBrains in code completion/code searching? I've put in a small amount of effort into this (hand-rolling a python config, using a DOOM config I found) and I get something that seems really slow if it works at all. Before I invest more time I was wondering if anyone had a screen cast or any personal experiences with this. Frankly I'd use whichever editor has…

I entered this at the end: Emacs is a good text editor and I run it for every text file I read or write. As a text editor however, emacs can never handle things like project-management, software development and testing in the same way as an IDE. Yet, it has all the features of an IDE available in some melpa repository. Unfortunately, one is always forced to configure the editor and tweak it here and there to get mayb…
"one is always forced to configure the editor and tweak it here and there to get maybe 80% of what would be possible" What specifically do you think is lacking, apart from having a ready-made IDE out-of-the-box in Emacs?
Can you find me an example of a modern emacs config that creates a barebones python editor that does code completion and isn't significantly slower than jetbrains code completion? Most of what I can find is significantly out of date or just doesn't work. If its not possible or easy to find some barebones skeleton to build off of, I think the editor as a whole is too difficult to be worth using.
I tried doom but got something slower than jetbrains that also didn't work. I haven't yet found the time to invest into debugging/retrying. My next attempt will probably be me restarting, spending a few hours reading about how to use/debug packages and also getting something that does not really work. Is this really worth it?
I think this survey was populated without any thought. 1. it does not specify to whom this website belongs to, neither what the purpose of this survey is 2. in programming languages, there's not even one lisp dialect. In a survey. For Emacs. :p [Edit]: correction for 2, as there's clojure. Thanks anamexis.

In terms of time spent programming in Emacs, my dominant languages would be C, C++, C#, Scheme, ELisp and Ruby.
Seems odd to leave out the language Emacs was written in.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well there was a lot of talk about this on the mailing list with a lot of core devs opposed to the idea.
I'm not on the mailing list / saw the survey first on HN. At first glance thought it was marketing spam or something.

The language server for Rust that I prefer was written, and is maintained by, a JetBrains employee. For C/C++ it's hard to beat ccls, and for C# there's omnisharp-roslyn which is, again, hard to beat.
Otherwise, with dumb-jump I get superior jump-to-definition than JetBrains.
