helix looks cool and the scheme PR open with STEEL looks quite at home for me. I'll check it out, Thanks!

There is a plugin I can't live without: aggressive-indent, and it is awfully slow for me. I don't use any emacs distributions like doom, everything is hand rolled yet my keystrokes are noticeably slower than any other place.

Sometimes random operations like projectile get slow down, sometimes I'm stuck hitting c-g multiple times, it keeps popping up every now and then.

I need to restart emacs once every week because things tend to get slow by then.

And yes, magit is the slowest of them all. I've spent weeks trying to debug and fix magit but it's so slow for me. I am a magit power user despite all the jank, because it really gives me superpower.

Emacs has made me a much better developer, both because of repl driven development, and by making me grok how much power you can wield when you can mold an editor to your needs.

Switching from emacs to something else will be a long and arduous journey for me, but I can't live with the jank anymore as I get frustrated by it almost every day.
