Have been using vscode for almost one year and love it though sometimes it is a bit sluggish and heavy, also a long time vim user and that's what I use for CLI editing.Still I miss Geany and keep coming back to it, it does not have the most modern UI but it is so light-weight and does 95% editing for me all the time.
It is packaged for Linux, and you can install the newest release with their plugins, if you have never tried it, give it a shot.
- Mononokay 9y agoIt has as modern a UI as your GTK theme has, so if you have Breeze-gtk it's not terrible.
- lightdot 9y agoI'm not sure what the starting comment meant, but there is more to UI than GTK theme, or any theme in general. That being said, those who haven't tried Geany should most definitely give it a spin.
- jenscow 9y agoI read it as: the UI is as modern most other applications on your desktop (it uses whatever theme they do)
- GordonS 9y agoI came to VSCode from Visual Studio with R#, which undoubtedly affects the way I perceive VSCode, but for me it absolutely flies, even when editing 200MB text files (not that I do that often, just saying)!
- feikname 9y agoWould you mind please sharing your specs?
- GordonS 9y agoYeah, it is a monster: an HPZBook 15 G3 with a 2.9GHz Xeon E3-1545M CPU and 64GB RAM. But even on that, Visual Studio is annoyingly slow. I also have a 2017 13" Macbook Pro don't know the exact specs off-hand; I don't use it often), and VSCode is really fast on that too.
- swah 9y agoI love VSCode, but only have that feeling "it flies" with Sublime Text.
