I am kind of excited for Emacs in Rust. I would love something Emacs like that looks modern and easier to manage like VS' ability to easily drag and drop components wherever you need them, and is very fast to boot, think of ST3, CudaText, and co. Then all the bloatware is optional plugins.

I would say VS Code is a good goal, it has everything you need to have an IDE, and yet you don't feel forced to use it.
