You mean the UI of the IDE, i understand.
I never found Visual Studio Code particularly good. IntelliJ IDEA (for Java) is a good IDE but not as quickly responsive as it should.
For Common Lisp, Emacs (with SLIME) "just works". That is, it does everything you need and in a very quick way. I couldn't care less how it looks, although you could be able to customize tons of stuff should you want to.
I have over 32 years programming and have used many, many IDEs, and Emacs+SLIME was one of the most enjoyable experiences, once you learn the key combinations. I couldn't care less on how it looks. Only newbies and fucking uneducated coders are caring about "wow look at my dark theme and my 5 monitors". Real alpha chad developers can program amazing stuff with a small monitor and vanilla IDE setups.
