The GTK fork is great, but it’s so slow - especially on HiDPI displays.
I tried it out on my 4K monitor and I felt a noticeable increase in typing latency. It started to feel a lot more like VS Code.
Ultimately I was about to get HiDPI support working in Xwayland in Sway with a series of patches and I ran Lucid Emacs, which was much faster and made the latency increase go away entirely.
