> "sigh, another electron app" Awesome Electron Apps + VS Code (Which was light years ahead of Atom but that gap has narrowed) + RStudio + Discord

  Your point is? Emacs/Vim/Sublime are faster, more extensible and native compared to VS Code. RStudio I didn't use, nor I programmed in R, and I didn't know it was Electron app anyway.

    I used VIM on my Amiga. Today I am mostly using VS Code on my 8 year old Dell at work. For coding there is no performance issues. My Point: VS Code is a great electron application. Works great.

      It is but it's slower than Vim. I've tried it. It is fast, for Electron app. Try opening huge text or log file in it.

        > It is but it's slower than Vim. VS Code < Vim < Vi < ed I don't get the text editor speed as an issue ever. I used Vim (I use Vim mode in all my editors) not because it was faster on the CPU it was because it made my work faster. Today VS Code makes me work fast. I seriously have a 8 year old Dell crappy corporate computer for work and there is no noticeable slow down on either RStudio or VS Code.
