Still waiting for Guile Emacs to solve that.
Of all the problems Guile Emacs might have fixed, performance on Windows is not one I considered.
I recently tried to seriously use Emacs over my usual Vim. Mainly because I've got so used to the GNU readline emacs shortcuts in the terminal and quite like the idea of not having to switch between command and insert mode, but damn after looking into some configuration options it really is a massively complicated piece of software, I mean not to start using it, it's probably easier than Vim but just looking at all t…

I just use spacemacs and it handles that for me.
Spacemacs is disturbingly slow.
function em() {
emacsclient -nw "$@"
}
The improved js-mode in 27.x is definitely worth checking out, especially if you use React/JSX. Had many issues wrestling with indentation in previous setup. https://github.com/mooz/js2-mode/blob/master/README.md#react...

I don't know if you find spacemacs disturbingly slow while editing or just when it starts. I was disturbed by the latter and have emacs set up to run in daemon mode and have the following in my .bashrc: function em() { emacsclient -nw "$@" } so that I can call "em" with any necessary arguments and start an emacs session without having to wait. Works for me (though depending on the language I might still prefer vim).
Great job a very good example of programmable editor. Emacs had been my work horse since 2002 and never disappointed. In the meantime tried many ide only vim and emacs stayed with me. Sometimes do use nano and sublime text but then back to either emacs or vi. All those shiny IDE based on electron, Java or C++ are just too slow to be productive be it VScode, atom or eclipse or visual studio or kdevelop. I am forced to…
Don't care about your platform, desktop (I'm typically working over SSH in the cloud, so why bother?) or any of that hooplah.
Just waiting for everybody else to catch up.

It was a few months before I started editing my config files, first to get rid of the start up message, then to handle some org exports, then to do a little python programming.
Your config file grows as your use of emacs expands. I now use it for programming, task management, email, calendar, accessing remote files, git, and occasionally a little note taking.
The worst thing you can do with emacs, when starting, is to look at other peoples .emacs files. It's just intimidating

If you happen to be using bash, "set -o vi" was a godsend for me.

http://spacemacs.org/ with its org-mode and magit ( https://magit.vc/ ) integration, combined with the modal editing of vi, is truly superior.

Alternatively, could somebody convince the author of the railwaycat port (Emacs with better macOS integration) to get a version 27 out soon?
