Snappyness is definitely something emacs lacks. Usually it doesn't bother me, but sometimes I know what I want to do and it gets in the way. I'm definitely. Interested in onivim2, I'll probably compile at some point and check it out.

For me, my Emacs runs fine up till I try using lsp for java development and then it's a bloody nightmare. Currently, I'm being forced to resort to the indignity that is Eclipse as a result of that.

I'm frankly ready for a total reimagining of Emacs even if it means that extension support might be compromised for a while. The last time there was a major divide, we had XEmacs and a lot of the massive improvements that made eventually made it to mainline Emacs so it could only be a good thing for this project long term.

I've had good luck with meghanada mode for Java development but I still stick with idea most of the time (mainly because I haven't set up binds to build or do things automatically yet). Still, I have issues with emacs as an IDE sometimes. For example when doing python, I forget the backend I'm using right now, after having it running for a while a ton of processes start to get spun up and it stops being able to properly do code completions. I'm sure I could solve these problems, I just haven't yet since I usually restart emacs often anyways.
