    This year I moved from lsp-mode to eglot and I found that eldoc is fine, I don't need the fancy hovering documentation boxes from lsp-ui. Then I found Eldoc-Box by @Casouri, which uses child-frames to create documentation tooltips from eldoc, which has the advantage of being available in all-modes, not just in those managed by an LSP client. It helped persuading me to transition, because I was afraid I would miss the LSP-UI-like fancy documentation. However, in practice, I found that my eyes are trained to look to the minibuffer for simple documentation like signatures and when I want to check the long documentation #'eldoc-doc-buffer is great when set to a convenient key binding.
