In the first few years of my career I would try every few months to get these things actually installed and working in emacs. It was definitely the hard way.

Eclipse is a uniquely terrible piece of software and I understand why it might polarize people against IDEs for life. The JetBrains products are pretty good and, importantly, modular and consistent enough across languages that I don't mind.
- aidos 4y agoI believe they’re talking about a different “hard way” in that they’re suggesting you can’t have those features in vim / eMacs etc and have to do something else instead. You’re not wrong, configuring these editors is 100% the hard way (that doesn’t stop me from doing it though).
