I wonder if the latency would be comparable to neovim/vim? I've only tried Emacs without nativecomp and the really noticeable input lag left a bad impression.

- lycopodiopsida 3y agoAs someone, who jumps between neovim and emacs on a regular basis - no, neovim is much faster. If speed and general snappiness is your most concern you should stay with neovim. But, emacs is in most cases fast enough, faster than vscode and has other advantages.
- funcDropShadow 3y agoIn my experience Emacs is slow when I enable evil. I do like vim keybinding, but using evil negates most of the benefits for me since it introduces unbearables pauses. That is with Doom emacs under Linux.
- lycopodiopsida 3y agoThey can be disabled in the init.el, I’ve done it for a year or so. Emacs-keybindings are less ergonomic, but also have less cognitive overhead imo.
- ducktective 3y agoThe exact setup I tested (evil+doom) but without nativecomp, same feedback
- mplanchard 3y agoNative compilation makes a big difference, but neovim is still snappier, especially if you’re using lots of packages or a framework like doom or whatever
