VSCode is Electron app, running nonstop on my Macbook, it's very fast and doesn't seem to be much more (or at all) power hungry than Xcode. Thanks to Electron it works everywhere and is the same on all platforms, that's a feature.
- olliej 6y agoThe first time I used vscode it was obvious that it wasn’t a native app. Basic things like the search hot keys were broken. It’s perf as a text editor compared to native text editors is abysmal, and if you compare to Xcode you have to include the many processes spawned for basic code support. VSCode’s idea of a file that is too large to process is smaller than xcode’s which is itself pretty unresponsive for a while when loading files that textmate and other native editors handle without a problem.
