The idea of my lsp mode installing servers for me fills me with dread. I'm fine with, like, `brew install whatever-server` or `go get golang.org/x/tools/gopls` or whatever. But if lsp-mode's deal for installing a new language server happens not to work on my machine, I'm in for 45 minutes of elisp debugging to figure out what the hell is going wrong. Most languages we work in have more tooling than just a language server; we don't expect Emacs to install our debugger or code generator. It's weird that we expect it to install the lsp server.
It has language servers for lots of things. Things you may not even consider languages! HTML, CSS, JSON (and all its different usages and schemas), etc.
What tooling would you install for that? What tooling does your system package-manager offer for that?
LSP-mode offering a “vertical” form of integration here (these major modes have been tested with these servers, and here’s how to install and invoke them) makes perfect sense to me as a user.
