As a VSCOde user on both Mac and Windows, I'm not sure they needed to do anything native. Seems like wasted work, when what they've ended up with is plenty fast and looks good in both environments. I'm not using VSCode to edit one-off files from my terminal. The use case is for your folder-based projects. I generally open it once/week or reboot, etc, and finds it loads, mounts my folder and I'm done in the amount of time it takes me to grab a sip of coffee. I think too many people base speed because they're used to one-off editing files directly from their filesytem. At this point in time, I only do this when editing config on remote servers and such. EDIT: I just went and opened VSCode from my terminal and it took about 3.5 seconds to load up an entire React Native project on a three year old 11" MacBook Air.
