With all of the trumpeting of VSCode being so much better than Atom, it sure doesn't hold up with these comparisons.
But feature wise, it's still way ahead of Atom.
- revelation 10y agoDid we look at the same results here? Atom has memory balloon when loading test.xml without highlighting, takes 4x as long as Code to rehighlight, simple search and replace basically doesn't terminate. They are both terrible but at least Code doesn't seem to hit any degenerate cases.

- equasar 10y agoI tried to rerun some of the benchmarks where vscode claimed to be so bad, Couldn't reproduce it, for instance, the replace with regular expression and inserting the "'<!--'" , those were < 1s or almost instantly. I used latest version of VSCode tho. TBH this benchmark is not fair for editors that have constant updates like VSCode and Atom, unless they keep up to date the results.
- tills13 10y agoThey used VSCode 1.4 for the tests - the latest stable version is 1.10. Could that be the issue?
- jhallenworld 10y agoYes, it appears that VSCode is actively being improved, check out: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2017/02/08/syntax-highlighting-optimizations https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2017/02/08/syntax-highli...
- satysin 10y agoThis comparison is from 8 months ago. VSCode has had several big releases since then.
