"much worse" sounds a bit hyperbolic. Lets assume it would be not as good though, at least at first. It's a little conceited for them to believe they are going to be the best at all things to all people. Letting it out of the nest has greater future potential for wider integration and features in the long run. Maybe Eclipse project or Redhat will eventually do the right by the language.. I don't mind them doing this either. I just find the thinking outmoded, and I also don't mind just not using Kotlin. And to clarify, it's not just the decision to not support language server protocol at this time; it's their reaction to the mere suggestion of it. The language steering is too coupled to the biz IMHO. For what it's worth, I feel the same way about F# and the Visual F# Power Tools team and is the prior experience that raises the red flag.
