Better code autocompletion in Emacs? (alien.top)

Hello, emacs fellas.
I'm trying to set up emacs for webdev and I cannot get good completions for html and css. I have installed lsp-mode and html-ls along with css-ls, but completions are still rather poor compared to VSCode.

Is there a way to get better autocomplete?

What are you missing? VSCode may include Emmet by default, for example, but in Emacs you would have to install and configure either a minor mode or a language server.

But I'm not using any language servers for webdev. I found the built-in completion-at-point perfectly adequate in CSS-mode. For HTML, I use nxml-mode with html5-schema-0.1. Just typing

I discovered that yes, VSCode has Emmet by default, lsp-mode in emacs has support for emmet-ls but it does not seem to work that much at all.
