homebrew-emacs-plus VS good-scroll.el

I am intrigued by this line in the description:

"Super Fast Emacs: Bleeding edge Emacs that fixes itself, thanks to a community overlay"

Could you possibly tell me (or link to the explanation) what's special about that Emacs instance? (I'll update this comment if I find a link myself)

I use this homebrew cask and have been very happy with it thus far, but I'm always up for some new exploration. https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus

Oh, I just realized I'm using https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus . I recommend using that over the default formula.

There is the code to do just that. Works with emacs-mac and emacs-plus.

Firstly as others have mentioned, the default Emacs distribution in macOS is very old and Doom doesn’t support it. If you haven’t already you would be better off downloading a newer version. You can download it straight from the GNU website, but I recommend emacs-plus as it has some macOS niceties thrown in.

ps. Emacs plus aggregates a great collection https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#icons

homebrew-emacs-plus generally works for me. I'd recommend it.

Awesome! You should create a PR to add it to https://github.com/d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus/

I haven't tested this myself yet, but maybe M-x term + good-scroll.el would work well

On modern hardware, without native I would encounter micro-stutters here and there, and most frequently while smooth scrolling using good-scroll. Stuttering is non-existent for me on native, so I'm definitely enjoying that. And also less empirically, just general command execution feels a bit more snappy.

I don't know but maybe it requires some configuration but pixel-scroll-mode only led Emacs to freeze. I think a better package might be https://github.com/io12/good-scroll.el, and for images https://github.com/casouri/iscroll

I wonder what the root cause for this is. Most of the explanations I've read revolve around emacs' lack of animation support. For example, the github page of smooth-scroll.el states the following:

It's not often that I publicly display my respect/affection for a certain package. But good-scroll is such a nice enhancement that I feel like anybody who uses a mouse in GUI Emacs MUST try out. The smooth scrolling experience that this package provides is the best implementation I've seen, and the built-in `pixel-scroll-mode` is far from being at the same level (no offence to `pixel-scroll-mode` developers though).
