alt Hacker News> Multicore kind of works against the structure that Emacs touts as a feature.
I have consistent issues with emacs locking up when executing network requests. I'm sure there's a specific bug that could be hunted down and addressed, but this sort of thing shouldn't happen much in an editor that's multicore by default.
I'm not trying to dismiss emacs' reasoning, of course, but I can understand being disgruntled with it.
The actual rendering I've been quite please by, though!
Yeah this is one reason, or Emacs freezing for up to a minute when updating packages. Also when using an LSP I notice latency.
I use Emacs GUI (outside of the terminal) and comparing performance for rending to something like Zed or Sublime is definitely noticeable. It’s great that Emacs is so resource efficient but sometimes I wish it used more of my beefy computer(s).
Like I said I still love Emacs and it’s okay for it to make a different set of trade-offs. I honestly didn’t think I’d ever switch editors but here we are!
