one fundamental thing I run into fairly often is Emacs horrific performance on long lines. Not really an issue for code, but looking at large JSON or text files routinely almost crashes my Emacs.

Agreed: for most of my day to day tasks, emacs is performance enough, subject to the constraints of my CPU vis a vis interpreting the underlying lisp...but I do find myself actively avoiding a long line of JSON blob, because of the reliable repeatability of emacs locking up and becoming unusable on a long line.
It’s not enough to stop me using emacs, but it is enough to make me go out of my way to avoid it (and to grumble about).
