Graphical debuggers are one of the most important tools developers have gotten in the last few decades compared to the TUI and command line era. There exist packages like dap-mode for emacs which do an admirable job in simulating more graphical workflows, but they are limited by the capacities that Emacs has.
If you want to put Emacs on the same footing with modern IDEs I don't think you get around to at some point getting it to a modern GUI system.

Maybe I'm in the minority on this, but I'm not interested in emacs being on the same footing with modern IDEs. I'm happy with what it is, and would be sad if it didn't exist as it does today. (I only ever use emacs without -nw by accident)
