I don't use vscode but I just upvoted. Hope it's speed/UX can be made comparable to vim.

- AdamJacobMuller 6y agoSeems impossible to me that an electron app can respond as quickly as native code one. Ignoring other issues I had, I ditched VSCode and went back to MacVim after probably 3-4 months specifically because of the input lag I experienced when typing. The input lag seemed to be tied to things like plugins looking up information like autocomplete, which, I know is more computationally expensive than simple text rendering but it seemed like VSCode blocked simple text rendering on waiting for autocompletion results. I did have a number of other issues, but, I enjoyed VSCode enough that I would have stuck with it and tried to resolve. Now, I'm probably too old and too disconnected from code to actually switch.
- wuxb 6y agoYou're never too old. It's just the new tools are not good enough.
- viraptor 6y agoPlease don't just jump on the bandwagon. There are existing extensions providing extensive vim mode - if you're not using VS you don't know what's already possible.
