Isn't Eclipse basically the modern Emacs?
It's a plugin management system that happens to be shipped with a set of plug-ins targeted at serving as an IDE, written in Java instead of Lisp.
- satyanash 6y ago> Isn't Eclipse basically the modern Emacs? Ah, but you miss its hackability aspect by virtue of being a lisp runtime. I wouldn't say eclipse is anywhere close to "hackable" as emacs is. Just run C-x b <scratch> RET and you have an elisp buffer to manipulate the state of the entire editor. It allows for superfast iteration, compared to the plugin development cycle of other editors. Though, vscode/javascript has definitely made it much closer to what is possible in emacs.
