Emacs + vterm feels... clunky? compared to nvim + tmux

Hello! I've been both a Doom Emacs and vim/nvim + tmux user over the years, alternating between both for multi-year stretches.

Just coming off a stretch of using nvim + tmux, and using https://github.com/theprimeagen/tmux-sessionizer for workspace management. Part of what's pulling me back to emacs is magit and very specifically org-mode; the org plugin in nvim is good, but just not quite the same thing.

Projectile does a pretty good job of providing similar functionality to the sessionizer, and I know I can easily extend it if I need. However, in my day-to-day I make heavy use of tmux panes, switching between nvim windows and terminals. I'm finding that the same flow in emacs feels kind of "clunky"... I apologize I don't have a better way to describe it, but it just seems slower, escaping/mode changes seem to be buggy, its less clear how to manage multiple panes etc...

Does anyone have any tips or tricks? Am I thinking about it wrong? Some killer plugin i'm missing? Thanks in advance!
