M-X Reloaded: The Second Golden Age of Emacs – (Think)
Run emacs -q (no add-ons loaded) and it should be a lot faster than VS Code. Which means that a library you loaded is the culprit. Things like Doom Emacs are notorious for unexpected slowness since they're not very well put together and load questionable libraries.
In the unlikely case where emacs -q is still slow, use Emacs Mac Port (https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport/releases...).
This is at least 2x perceivably faster than VS Code on Mac.

indent-bars: fast, configurable indentation guide bars using font-lock and stipple patterns
Important note: I learned that apparently not all Emacsen properly support :stipple (despite happily accepting it as a face attribute). Linux/UNIX is safe, emacs-mac supports it on MacOS, but Windows may not at all (untested). Also, terminal emacs does not (to my knowledge) implement :stipple. Let me know how you fare. Update: Pure GTK emacs apparently does display stipples, but incorrectly (as an inverse mask).
- Thinking about buying a macbook, does Emacs work well?

C-<f4> not working out of emacs on mac
There's the "Mac" version, from Mitsuharu Yamamoto or railwaycat. The Mac port works more like Mac than the NextStep port. And it looks like the Mac port does work with C-f4.

any users of the Japanese input method? question about input-method.
You can install emacs-mac by homebrew (see https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport). $ brew tap railwaycat/emacsmacport $ brew install emacs-mac This emacs contains mac-win.el. Mac Auto ASCII mode in the mac-win.el automatically selects the most-recently-used ASCII-capable keyboard input source on some occasions: after prefix key (bound in the global keymap) press such as C-x and M-g, and at the start of minibuffer input. This function is very useful. I guess you can read Japanese, please visit Japanese setup page of my website (https://taipapamotohus.com/post/japanese\_setup/).

[auto-dark-emacs] - An automatic theme changer for Emacs on macOS - UPDATED!
For what it's worth, the emacs-mac port provides a mac-effective-appearance-change-hook hook to do the same thing as the System appearance change plugin. I use it like this:
