Having tried spacemacs, I bounced back to vim. Even though vim is just a tiny bit more responsive, it's enough to make emacs feel laggy. Granted, I use extensions very lightly, so I'm not feeling the qualitative difference of being able to do something in spacemacs that's impossible in vim.
- johanvts 10y agoWhat do you mean laggy? In the response time when typing or the time to start a new instance of emacs? If it's the first did you try emacs -q to check that you don't have something strange in you setup. If it's the latter, did you check out emacs --daemon ?
- sevensor 10y agoI did give emacs --daemon a try, and that definitely helped with the long startup time. I went so far as to alias vim to emacsclient -t. But what I mean when I say it was laggy is that typing and cursor movement are ever so slightly less responsive. Not MS Word on Windows 3.0 laggy, just enough for me to notice the difference. I dug into it a little bit with spacemacs and vim open side by side, and according to top, spacemacs was using about 10x the CPU of vim.
