GNU Debugger "GDB" Adds Support For Microsoft's Debug Adapter Protocol
GDB with gdb -i dap allows you to debug any language that GDB can debug from within Emacs' dap-mode: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode

Emacs as IDE
Debugging (kind of an IDE feature) is a little harder. Out of the box, Emacs can at least debug emacs-lisp (with built-in features) and C (via gdb integration). Beyond that, take a look at dap-mode for other language options. Similarly, take a look at lsp-mode or eglot for code completion, more advanced linting, etc.

Eglot has landed on master: Emacs now has a built-in LSP client
At least for web development I believe eglot is strictly worse. It does not support running multiple servers (e.g. tsserver and eslint-ls) (https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/976) which is supported by lsp-mode and neovim's built-in lsp client. Also, it does not have any equivalent to dap-mode which is lsp-mode only. Although worth noting dap-mode is currently useless for js (https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode/issues/369).

EGlot as LSP - Interface & DAP
Hi, as it seems EGlot will receive the blessing of inclusion into vanilla Emacs. That makes me wonder how I am supposed to use dap-mode at it swaps in lsp-mode as a dependency.

Debugging GameBoy Advance (GBA) programs/games in Emacs
We will use dap-mode with the dap-gdb-lldb option here. Under the hood, it uses the debug adapter from the Native Debug VSCode extension. Configuring it is described on the dap-mode webpages. After we have configured dap-mode, we could in theory reuse the launch.json configurations from the VSCode related articles above. That will require that you also use lsp-mode, as dap-launch depends on the lsp-workspace-root function and will not resolve when lsp-mode is not used. I don't use lsp-mode with C (company-clang and company-c-headers provide what I need), so the next logical solution would be to create a debug template ourselves:

John Carmack: Best Programming Setup and IDE – Lex Fridman Podcast Clips
Hmm it does seem like Emacs is growing support for the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP), the LSP-alike convention that allows language developers to build language-specific debuggers that tie into the VSCode UI: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode

Programming in Python
So, what do you need: - Language server for Python (lsp and lsp-ui) Use lsp-mode it's more reach with features at the moment https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/installation/ - Real-time program debugging (dap-mode) https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode

lsp-mode vs eglot
Seems like too much work and the issue has been closed and not reopened since 2018 sadly. It looks like it won't be happening any time soon. https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode/issues/2

Emacs bankruptcy
I've used emacs for about the same (started with microemacs in the 80s). I also had an extremely crufty init.el and recently decided to start over. I compared 19 emacs distributions (from this list and this r/emacs post). I looked at

Making Emacs more approachable
But, to be honest, I think it simply is not for everyone. But sure one thing is lacking (as far as I know): a metatutorial. Like a big "chart" telling people what can be done with Emacs (with a few examples), something like https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs for newcomers.

How Can I Start the Daunting Task of Making my Own Config?
For packages, Checking what people in the community commonly use, such as in https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs/ or checking packages for review in Doom Emacs helps a lot in selection. There are also great guides, such as Kristoffer Balintona's https://kristofferbalintona.me/categories/guides/. Personally, my bias in selecting packagges is towards the ones that integrate well with built-in Emacs functionalities. I could provide you a list if you want.
