i feel you, this is a reason why, even though i started using emacs on the job almost two decades ago, and liked it a whole lot better than anything else i have encountered since, i eventually moved away from it after that job. the new job was using a language where the source code was in a database of sorts. really fussy about how to handle the code. using external tools was a huge nono. two jobs later i find myself working with msvs and vscode and eventually realize those are THE WORST tools in existence. well, if you disregard that stuff from earlier... i returned to emacs, had a hard look at my choices and settled for cygwin. it has its own flaws, but emacs is not one of them <3 now i just need to learn how to use gdb to get rid of msvs for gud xD
