I used to love VSCode, but over the past few months it has become unusably slow.
I'm talking freezes for multiple seconds while typing kind of slow. This is with less than 5 plugins. Vim has become my default editor now, and I only use VSCode if I want to move a lot of files around.
- pitaj 8y agoThis isn't just something where you should go "oh, well, guess I'll switch". Please report such issues, and try to debug what is going on because it sounds like it might be a problem with your computer in general.

- ncphillips 8y agoInteresting. I'm going to give this a shot tomorrow. Thanks!
- ncphillips 8y agoWhy shouldn't I do that? I don't work for Microsoft, I'm not locked in, and I'm just trying to get my own work done. I am equally productive with Vim, and it doesn't lag, so I switch over.
- beart 8y agoThe very first thing you wrote was, "I used to love VSCode". That you used the phrase 'love' and it was your opening thought implies you were at least somewhat invested in VS Code and might attempt to find solutions before dropping it completely. Not that it matters to anyone else what tools you use, just that is the impression from your initial post (to me at least).
- kahlonel 8y agoI don't know why you're getting downvoted. I can't stand these Electron apps, let alone a text editor that I'll write my code in.
