I run it on a Macbook Pro 15 2015, a Macbook Air 11 2011, and a frankenbox with an i7 from 2013.
On the Air it takes 10 seconds or so to launch. On the others it's less than 5 seconds. Compare to PHPStorm, which is kinda useable in less than 30 seconds, and takes a minute or two to index a relatively small codebase and be fully useable. (Of course, PHPStorm does a lot more than VS Code, but I find that I don't use it anymore anyway; testing startup time just now was the first time I'd opened it in months. I guess I should stop paying for it.)
- cm3 10y agoI'd go nuts with such long launch times, regardless of daemon mode.
- randallsquared 10y agoWhen I use a command line editor, I tend to launch a new editor for each file, edit, save, and quit. For GUI editors, I tend to just leave them running on some desktop and add files to them, so I rarely start them and wait; instead I just open a new file or a new window and continue.
