I recently switched from emacs to spacemacs. I love the key bindings, but the Emacs GUI with spacemacs is so slow it’s unusable, keeps my laptop running burning full speed.

That sucks.

I use spacemacs remotely on a terminal with mosh and tmux, so I don’t notice. But back in ‘10, evil mode wasn’t usable for me on the terminal. I imagine spacemacs on 2010 era hardware would suck, let alone GUI.

I wonder if the new chips like the M1 would make a difference.
