A couple of months ago I switched from Neovim with a carefully crafted config file to Helix with zero config. I haven't looked back.
As far a performance, well, Helix + Alacritty is the fastest thing I know of. Snappy AF. You're still at the mercy of whatever language server might be grinding away, but at least it doesn't block the UI in any way. Every other component (tree-sitter, ropey) is performance optimized by Rust nerds who love that sort of thing.
