How come Atom is slow for so many people? Visual Studio Code is based on Electron as well and doesn't seem to have that.
I tried VSCode for TypeScript and it was very smooth, not as good as Pycharm for my usecase though
- vonklaus 11y agoFunny you mention that. I am thinking about switching. Vsc is much more performant built on electron which was what github developed to write atom. So microsoft did a great job. Issue is that there is a much smaller community, less plugins and I have mac so no other ms synergy for me. That said, I am going to try ot again today. I liked it
- PeCaN 11y agoI have no idea what MS pulled to make Electron fast, because all other Electron-based apps that I've used have been absurdly slow. VS Code isn't the fastest thing ever and uses more RAM than I'd like, but it definitely hits tolerable performance for me. It's definitely the exception rather than the norm. I wish they'd publish something about writing efficient Electron apps.
