> Visual Studio Code manages to attract enough developer attention to get people to work on compatible language servers

Not to nitpick an otherwise good argument, but the whole point behind LSP and language servers are that they are completely editor-agnostic.

A language server which enables great functionality in VSCode should be able to provide the same for other editors too.

I know what you mean but VSCode tends to have the benchmark front-end implementation for any given language server in my experience. Not how it should be, of course.
