If you have the latest gschem release, you will have a non-modal
attribute editor which makes things faster. Still not gattrib fast of
course, but less painful than before.

The editor doesn't clear the fields for adding attributes after each
add, so you can add similar attributes to a number of components quite
easily.

I'm not arguing to replace gattrib though. Ivan Stankovic is / was doing
work on gattrib, so I'd expect to see some improvements there in due
course.
