A review of Eglot

I have been using eglot for the past month after years of using lsp-mode for years. The main reason for switching was the fact that eglot is now built-in into emacs and as such it's independent from the whims of maintainers and contributors for its survival. Even though I must say that I have nothing but the greatest admiration for the maintainers and contributors of lsp-mode, since, as I said, I've been happily using it for years.

So far my experience with Eglot has been just fine. It does its thing and stays out of my way most of the time, which is what you'd want from an lsp client. It can be too minimalistic at times, and it lacks some of the features that I enjoyed in lsp-mode, such as built-in support for installing missing servers, or multi-server support. Especially the latter is sorely missed because for Python development I was used to running pyright and ruff (as an lsp server) at the same time. But fortunately I can still get ruff support through flymake-ruff.

I'll keep using it for some more weeks and then decide if it's worth putting my fate in the hands of lsp-mode again or not. One thing I'm sure of, is that I'm happy that I finally gave eglot a shot, and if nothing else, I know that there's always going to be a pretty good lsp client for emacs out there.
