Not an answer but an anecdote: I am a long time vim user and wanted to learn clojure. Everyone recommended emacs, because of it's lisp and repl abilities and ease of use.

I spent two weeks learning emacs, elisp and the ecosystem. I was not able to get it to run via WSL with Frontend integration (shadow-cljs). Several help channels where unable to assist, since they all just blamed other parts of the environment (WSL, the LSP, DoomEmacs or the clojure plugin..)

I eventually got it to work, just to find out, that vims minimal plugins that i used (vim-iced, sexp, and a Coc plugin) where faster, more reliable and better to use than the emacs counterparts.. and they just worked, without any troubleshooting.
