Can you list your most important feature(s) in chosen your ide or editor that you suspect emacs doesn't have or can't easily have?

How about the intellij inspections? It's a ton of lints that underline bits of your code as you type, with a wavy line, and you can hover over it to see what the problem is, and even potentially fix it automatically. Is there anything like that in the emacs world?

The ESS package (“Emacs Speaks Statistics”) does something like that for R without using an LSP.

`lsp-ui` does it for Rust at the very least but probably for other languages too.

Yep. You can use flymake or flycheck for that in combination with eglot or lsp-mode.
