Magit
magit-delta's dev is very responsive, but there's still an outstanding performance issue blocking me from adopting it:

Magit diff highlight
magit-delta does this. I tried it a few years ago myself and ran into some issues. About time I try it again :)
- delta for vc-mode?

Go to next line in magit-delta broken after updating to Emacs 29
For now I disable this package, but I really miss the magit highlighting. I created github issue, but it has no updates since 3 weeks, so maybe community could found the solution?

GitHub and Doom Emacs
Another problem is jumping to a particular place in the code, e.g., I want to open a link to the specific line in the current (or some other) branch that's hosted on GitHub. How do I do that? You can use git-link.el and browse-at-remote.el. They have some similarities and overlap in features, but they do have differences as well.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing magit-delta and git-link you can also consider the following projects:
emacs-vdiff - Like vimdiff for Emacs
renovate - Universal dependency automation tool.
diffview-mode - View diffs side-by-side in Emacs
git-credential-manager - Secure, cross-platform Git credential storage with authentication to GitHub, Azure Repos, and other popular Git hosting services.
difftastic - a structural diff that understands syntax 🟥🟩
code-review - Code Reviews in Emacs
gerrit.el - gerrit integration in emacs
crystal-spacemacs-layer - Spacemacs contribution layer for Crystal
emacs-diff-ansi
browse-at-remote - Browse target page on github/bitbucket from emacs buffers
magit-todos - Show source files' TODOs (and FIXMEs, etc) in Magit status buffer
rogue - Personal Emacs config
