AFAIU this is largely a consequence of the development baggage of Emacs. That is, the complexity of the current code base is far greater than the complexity of its purpose. > I'm quite sure rewriting all that is more than would be needed for > intellisense support.

And with every new C++ standard that comes out the effort increases significantly. [snip]
