I think users of VI or emacs has different ways of defining "good" here. Personally, I would never use VS Code, or any other chromium editor.

- tendencydriven 7y agoIs this due to some notion of it being slow? VSCode is fast, native-fast. With a fantastic plugin ecosystem I've been a full-time Vim user for the past decade (now NeoVim) but I've seriously considered switching, VSCode with vim mode turned on is truly fantastic, it's just not portable enough for my needs.

- tendencydriven 7y agoI'd consider startup time the least important metric for measuring speed of a text editor - as long as it's not ridiculous. Important speed metrics for me are: Switching between buffers Scrolling up/down a page (vim used to be terrible for me before i switched terminals to Kitty) Substitutions Search
- Skunkleton 7y agoI keep trying to use VSCode because there are aspects of it that work better than vim. I always end up back with vim. I think that is because an editor that sits on top of a CLI is much more useful than an editor with a CLI on top of it, at least for my work.
