Visual Studio Code is currently where all of the tooling effort is focused. For the best tools with the best integration you should be using it or, depending on language, JetBrains. These are easy to use and developers can be productive in them from the word go -- without extensive customization. Hell, if you open a file in a new programming language, VSCode will suggest plugins to install.

You do NOT want to build integrations by yourself. You want to build whatever product you're building. The fact that vim and emacs users do this is yak-shaving that pulls precious time away from the task at hand and serves as a distraction for editor fetishists. Do not become an editor fetishist. Modern IDEs help you become more productive faster and give you more support for things like debugging. (You are using a debugger to inspect and analyze your code, right?)
