which is all absolutely fantastic if you are following the script.

  The script these days is a lot more flexible than it used to be back in the 90's with Visual Studio. It's flexible to cover maybe 90-95% of development needs for the main language targeted. And for those clearly defined use cases, modern IDEs generally fly. Which is far from guaranteed with bespoke configurations (Emacs, Vim).

    90-95% of my time is spent working in at least two languages. Usually JavaScript and some backend language, like Go or Python.

      I wouldn't use Emacs for that, and I use Emacs since more than 25 years. Emacs shines when using Coq (with Proof General) or Common Lisp or Clojurescript (I guess Clojure too). But for mainstream languages like JS, Go or Python you're better off with something like Code.

      And modern IDEs support 2 languages at the same time. Heck, they support dozens if not hundreds of languages at the same time. Eclipse has Javascript and Python plugins, for example so you can code in Java, Javascript, Python at the same time. VS Code has a ton of language plugins you can use all at the same time. IntelliJ has a ton of language plugins you can also use all at the same time.

Show me the IDEs with Common Lisp, Coq, Ocaml, Haskell, Elm, ... support. That's actually the reason Code is a real alternative to Emacs and Intellij isn't.
