> It’s surprisingly easy to grind performance to a halt in VSCode using the extensions (even on a modern machine of course) much like using a browser with extensions (but worse). The same is true for emacs, or vim or any other extendable editor. Poor code behaves bad everywhere. But the real surprise is, VS Code usual performance is equal or better than emacs even with an average setup which is still a tad more powerful than whatever emacs offers on a good setup.
