I use VS Code and it never felt sluggish. But it’s probably one of the best Electron apps out there.
Honestly, if I had to develop a Desktop app today and wanted it to be cross-platform, I’d probably use Electron. No need for hacky workarounds like in a web app to make it run on every major browser.
- 0xffff2 7y agoI use VS Code too and it's extremely sluggish compared to a text editor like Sublime. I use it only because the plugin experience is much better than Sublime and the responsiveness is infinitely better than JetBrains' products.
- hackandtrip 7y agoI find it not fair to compare VSCode to JetBrains' product: one of them is an IDE, the other one is an editor, different features and different targets!
- 0xffff2 7y agoI disagree. VSCode is really a hybrid product. With plugins, it does intellisense and debugging, which are really the two major value-add features of an IDE for me. It's still light years faster than IntelliJ (and light years slower than Sublime). I switched from IntelliJ to VSCode and it minimally affected my workflow, so they're objectively not different targets in that regard.
