I'm happy people love Emacs, but it's not remotely close to the same "out of the box experience", and I think it will put people off to claim it does.
I few months ago I spent a week using Doom Emacs (based on a friend's recommendation). It took days to get used to basic functionality (cut/copy/paste/save/etc), and after a week I still couldn't get error highlighting and running tests to work in Rust.
With VSCode, I opened a Rust project and a box popped up saying "hey, want to install the rust plugin", I said yes, it installed (including installing the approriate version of rust-analyzer), and everything worked.
