I'm not convinced. I recently installed VSCode after all that hype and I'm somewhat disappointed. Without referring to external media, it's not all that easy to get anything done. It isn't exactly intuitive. It takes effort like anything else.

(full disclosure: these days I'm almost exclusively an Emacs user, but for Java I might use IntelliJ instead and long time ago, when VisualAge for Java was still around, I evaluated a bunch of Java IDEs for the company I worked for)

lsp-java [1] might interest you. There was a lightning talk [2] about it at Emacs Conf 2019.

Exactly the point I'm pushing. I hasten to add that I'm not claiming the alternatives are bad. Just not as rosy as often pushed.
