I am using Spacemacs and have spent days trying to make it work faster (I am on macOS). Took a while and some effort but with a few strange tweaks I managed to make it more responsive.
Emacs/Spacemacs can still be weirdly slow sometimes but UI responsiveness is generally miles ahead of all Electron-based software still.
Which makes it even funnier. Emacs is decades old and still uses quite a few ancient techniques that are only hampering it. Even with that, it's still so much better in terms of speed! Funny.
