Great article. Avid ST3 user here, but glad to hear about the improvements.
For anyone curious, I made a quick gif comparing startup times on my machine for Sublime Text 3 (Build 3129), Atom (1.16.0), Atom Beta (1.17.0-beta2, the one mentioned here), VSCode (1.11.2), and VSCode Insiders (1.12)

I should mention - my ST3 is heavily customized (28 plugins), while Atom and VSCode are absolute stock.
- draw_down 9y agoThey all look to be within the same ballpark; none of those startup times would be a problem for me, at least. But when I tried Atom it was noticeably less responsive, which I have very little tolerance for. I haven't tried VS Code. (I also use Sublime)
- hoschicz 9y agoMy experience is that VSCode is much more responsive than Atom. Just a lot "snappier". Startup is not much of a problem, I don't open ordinary files in VSCode or Atom by default (I use gedit for that)
- kiliankoe 9y agoShowing a window is in the same ballpark, but being ready for input is something else. On Sublime this is basically the same instant. On VSC and Atom it takes a bit longer to actually render a cursor.
- fpgaminer 9y agoNice comparison! Would be even better to see them all side-by-side.
