I've always drifted back to the terminal based emacs for two reasons. While I've been using X11 off and on since the 90s, I still do not understand how to deal with fonts beyond helplessly googling for a constructive command I eventually stumble on something that works and then I have to leave it alone. The display performance of most terminal programs is still noticeably faster than the X11 setup I end up with in a corporate environment.

The font stuff is 50x better than it used to be and there's even a reasonable font selector built right into the GUI with the "Set Default Font" in the context menu (ctrl-right-click). And then you can "save" that from the GUI and get a line like this in your .emacs: '(default ((t (:family "FantasqueSansM Nerd Font Mono" :foundry "PfEd" :slant normal :weight regular :height 98 :width normal))))) Which emacs knows how to modify, too.
