Would you say it's fair to compare the memory usage / loading time of a huge TS file in VSCode vs in vanilla Vim, when one loads Language Services and provide advanced language features while the other just does Syntax Highlighting?
Or comparing Vim against Sublime for loading large files, when Sublime needs to draw the very fine and useful minimap but Vim doesn't?
In addition, most of these perf tests are extreme cases, whereas some editors are optimizing for more common use cases.
- SwellJoe 10y agoI dunno what "Languages Services" is. I guess I don't need it? It doesn't have to be fair to be useful and interesting. Software doesn't have feelings, so we can judge it on all sorts of metrics, fair and otherwise, without causing harm. Performance is a feature I value. So are some of the other things the bigger slower editors do. Having real metrics about their relative differences is useful, IMHO.
