> the difference in UI performance is astounding
I could not agree more. I've made numerous attempts to embrace the new hotness that is VSCode but I just cannot get over the performance. Yes, it has some cool features, the plug-in ecosystem is booming, and it sure looks pretty. But at the end of the day none of it is compelling enough for me to put up with the constant lag.
It's funny because after several of these experiments I have literally wondered to myself if I'm getting stuck in my ways or becoming a so-called "greybeard" due to my long term adherence to Sublime Text, but is constantly getting annoyed with how slow an editor is really a hallmark of old age? I'll wait for your web page to load, I'll wait for an ssh command to return. I will not wait for my bloody text editor. I have no patience whatsoever. Now god damn it NOW!
Another thing I wonder is how many of those VSCode users have simply never used anything better. If all you've ever known is an iPhone 5, you probably think it's pretty great - maybe you think that's just how phones are! This impression will be totally ruined of course when you try an iPhone X...
- Waterluvian 8y agoI feel like if I took a serious shot at sublime I wouldn't be able to go back due to performance snappiness. Then I'd be miserable because I think vscode is superior in many other ways.
- Dayshine 8y agoWhich UI elements do you find slow? The only things I find are slow are Language Server features. Which are just as slow in any IDE because they're using the same underlying application!
