For me, speedbar is a no-go, since it opens in a new frame. If I switch to browser, and then back to Emacs buffer, it is still hidden behind a browser windows.
From sidebar, what I look is an exact equivalent of Sublime Text's sidebar.
- It opens in the same frame - I can add/pin a folder tree there, it should be operable by mouse (open/close subtree, click to open a file in buffer or switch to it) - Have a list of open files / buffers - clicking on it should switch to buffer
Currently looking at treemacs and neotree that were suggested by me. Previously I was giving up trying to configure them, now I may be more persistent.
The site here has some elisp code that puts the speedbar in the current frame. I've just tried it and it seems to work.

The primary difficulty is in being able to find exactly what you're looking for. Precise terminology and specific terms of art (i.e. linting, directory traversal, syntax hiliting) will help here.
