VSCode is one of the snappiest and most responsive apps I use, period. Microsoft knows how to use Electron.

- dotdi 6y agoAgree to disagree. I switch between VSCode and Sublime regularly, and I see significant differences in input latency as well as memory consumption. VSCode also doesn't handle large files well, etc.
- pjmlp 6y agoNever used Sublime or Notepad++ I see.
- brundolf 6y agoI've used both at different times in the past for quick-edits, when my "main IDE" was Eclipse or Visual Studio (which are truly sluggish, and also native [1]). With VSCode I don't feel like I have to choose between feature set and responsiveness, and as such I haven't used either in several years. I won't say VSCode is more responsive than Notepad++/Sublime, but I will say any difference is small enough that I don't notice/care [1] Eclipse is Java, but that's arguably still more "native" than Electron
