All I need is fast text editing, fast navigation, fast syntax highlighting, fast fuzzy finding. Keyword is fast.

  Have you considered buying a zen cpu? It's worth it

    Should I have to upgrade my CPU to get acceptable performance out of a TEXT editor?
    • The_rationalist 6y ago
      Well a modern editor is more akin to an exobrain than a simple text editor. Anyway recent intellij is pretty fast, also it is more memory bound than cpu bound.

      Yes. It's way cheaper. You can get a new CPU for $200, but you can't rewrite VSCode in the time that money would provide.

        Why is the only other option to rewrite VSCode? How about another editor? Vim, <space, doom, etc>emacs...?
        • jhasse 6y ago
          Okay then replace "rewrite VSCode" with "turn Vim/Emacs into the same IDE experience as VSCode/IntelliJ".
