In some ways, yes. lsp-mode still has issues with *some* language server
(the Python one is the most mature one AFAIK, and works just fine).

I've updated the list of supported languages on the README. Adding
supporting for other languages is rather easy, you just need to tell
lsp-mode about how the language server connects and communicates
with clients. The remaining is handled by the package itself. For instance,
this is how Python is supported:
