Don't be such a Cassandra: have you seen the future?
We'll try to come as close as possible.

Anyway, it is precisely in this sense that I try that Eglot
provide the least amount of interactive commands and
user options, and no keybindings at all.  So that people
"see it" as little as possible of it.  They just see xref, project,
flymake diagnostics, eldoc, etc. This is quite different
from lsp-mode (at least the last time I looked at it).  Of
course if major modes were in on the play, we could
reduce the visibility of Eglot even more, maybe just
reduce it to `eglot-connect` and `eglot-disconnect`, maybe
call them `start-ide-ing` and `stop-ide-ing` for abstraction.
