I do hear a lot about diesel engines, more specifically how they have to be turbocharged and that they generally have poor acceleration etc. But why is this?

Diesel engines are like workhorses. They go slower, pull heavy loads and can work a long time. They tend to be heavier.
Gas engines are like racehorses. They accelerate hard and built go fast but have less endurance and don’t do heavy loads very well. They tend to be lighter.
It depends on the application. If you want to run a train, ship or heavy truck – diesel engines are the better option. If you want a lighter vehicle built to carry small loads but can go fast, then petrol engines are better.
