On: Magit, the magical Git interface (2017)

I use it on a low spec MacBook Air, and it works just fine for me... never noticed any kind of slowness.

I only work on Emacs in small projects though... so maybe that's why it's fast for me?!

Yes it will depend on repository size.

That, and I often have multiple projects open at once. There's a note in the Magit manual about this and how it affects performance, but unfortunately, the workaround means that buffers don't get refreshed and you might see stale information unless you perform a manual refresh.
