I‘ve been happily using Doom Emacs on Linux as VSCode replacement. When I switched to macOS, I found the experience to be rather slow with significant input lag, though. (And yes, I did use native compilation.) Has something changed in that regard, or did you just accept it?
Many Emacs functions are sluggish on my work Mac, but I found out that this is because the Cisco endpoint security software stops and checks every binary that runs, every single Goddamn time, which means that things which shell out, like M-x compile and anything in magit, are noticeably slower.
I had the same issues. I mainly use Doom on my linux machine, but on mac it is distractingly slow. d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus seemed to reduce the lag, but I've had other issues with it, so have gone back to vim.
