What's more important, for example, is working language servers out of the box, as other threads discussed. User opens a file in a particular language and emacs automatically offers downloading and installing the language server client and server, sets it up, sets company up and as the user starts typing it works instantly. This is how VScode does it.
Baby steps. I really doubt we'd have it exactly like that anytime soon, but gnu-elpa can be a step toward that. As well as a short and easy-to-use official guide on "How to get IDE features".
We don't exactly have to reach the VS Code level of ease of use. Even closing the distance somewhat will be a win in my book.
If this worked out of the box then minor peculiarities like mouse-1 wouldn't matter at all.
I still think we should take care of "papercut" bugs like that. After all, an editor that "makes sense" to you right away tends to leave much better impression.
