This interesting to me. The sidebar in IDEs is one of the features I dislike most about them. I vastly prefer the C-x C-f helm menu with it's fuzzy search to IDE approach of aimlessly clicking around a directory tree like a philistine. For the rest (linting, syntax, autocomplete), lsp and a language mode make me pretty happy.
