In my experience with modern hardware - a gaming PC - Emacs is noticeably sluggish compared to most other editors in a few specific ways: particularly syntax highlighting. When is the last time you used a different editor?

It's still there: https://github.com/remacs/remacs/wiki/Progress

As far as I can tell, its goal isn't to change anything about the core design though; just to re-implement the core in Rust.

The last time that page was edited was 2 years ago. The last commit wasn't particularly recent either.

remacs is dead, they don't accept merge requests. For some reason they did not find it reasonable to mention this in the README, so sometimes potential contributors arrive and do unnecessary work until someone tells them it's "stalled".
