I'm concerned about the Language Server Protocol. I get the impression that its current state is something like CSS in the era of Internet Explorer 4 to 6: there's a published specification which Microsoft is nominally behind, but the de facto standard is "What Visual Studio Code does", and there's nontrivial divergence between the two. Can anyone who works with LSP indicate whether that impression is accurate?

What does "nontrivial divergence" look like? LSP appears to be alive and well with editors that are not VS Code. The entire point of LSP is to decouple the text editor from the language, and it works. https://github.com/search?q=language+server+protocol https://github.com/search?q=language+server+protocol If VS Code has more support for LSP it is because Microsoft has poured money into it, invented LSP to begin with, and popularized it with VS Code to begin with.
