Visual Studio Code is pretty amazing. It's always the example I give when people say native-y stuff built on Javascript (Electron) can't be fast.

- TickleSteve 10y agoI tried it for a few minutes and the lag and weight far exceeds Sublime... YMMV. So no, from the available evidence, VSC and Atom, there is no way that an editor written in a heavily abstracted and interpreted language and VM can match the performance of Sublime.
- codedokode 10y agoThe problem might be not JS but using DOM (every colored word has to be a separate node and every time you add or remove a letter there would be a reflow) instead of custom widget written in compiled language and heavily optimized for displaying colored text in monospace font. Sublime uses high level language (python) too but not for rendering.
