> Atom's defenders always bring up that it was made with electron as the reason for it's slowness.Then, VSCode came along and invalidated that. How so?

  He's saying that since VSCode is built on Electron and it's fast, the Atom guys can't blame Electron anymore.

    Where is the proof on vscode being "fast"? And compared to what? I can only talk about my and some of my friends' personal experience but it won't praise vscode's performance. It's maybe less glitchy(latency) than atom but it feels like it's still far from sublime/emacs/vim.

      vscode is slow as dogshit. Its performance is barely passable on windows(making it just barely usable), but when you run it on linux its pathetic and glitchy. If Vscode could eliminate click latency and unselecting highlighted text latency/glitches, it might be an ok editor. I will say the features it has are impressive, but its downsides are outweighing its benefits for me on ubuntu 16.04.3 on the brightside, my replacement ssd will be here soon and i can return to windows 10 and vscode is much better on windows, since windows always has superior desktop performance to linux.
