Seems 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.
