You can't scroll without moving the cursor.

It's slow and buggy and difficult to wrangle to the needs of modern text editing yea?

Look I live in emacs. I cannot explain to you why this is such a shitty experience. I assume there are random assholes around the world who are holding emacs back so they can view their email from a repl or some bullshit.

I don't think your complaints are a common experience.

I've used neovim for the last 10 years, but before that I used emacs with R for many years at work and it was great, certainly not slow.

		Emacs is certainly capable of speedy editing; i don't mean to imply otherwise. But there isn't much explanation as to why emacs does things the way it does even if it makes the experience shittier.
