For the Emacs users in the crowd, GUD is a pretty great GDB integration.

Ever since the advent of LSP, Emacs has felt superior to everything else. I have no reason to leave it. Especially once they made it faster with native comp.

Like why should I keep trying this month's new editor with a couple new gimmicky features, when I can just pop a plugin onto Emacs that adds that exact feature set, while maintaining everything else how I like it.

I first really got into coding when Atom was a thing, and then that died off and became VS Code and I was pretty sad about it, because while VS Code is good, it doesn't follow the same philosophy as Atom. But then I took the time to learn Emacs ~4 years ago, and nothing new ever comes close to convincing me it's outdated tech that I need to move on from.

That was a random rant, but I'm just really appreciate Emacs, and I'm glad it's stuck around.

Even before the dawn of the LSP era, Emacs was pretty great with ctags.

Yeah I first gave it a try before LSP and I don't think I was ready to be redpilled yet, because it didn't stick. So I can't comment on the state of it before then. I kinda joined once the LSP stuff got fairly smoothed out.
