- ksec 6y agoNever ran on it Windows, only on Mac. Copy and pasting [1] my comment on VSCode from the Sublime thread. When VSCode launched, people were hyping it like mad ( On HN anyway ). It drives me crazy because they keep claiming it was very fast. Which isn't a fair assessment since most of them were using Atom ( from Github ) or any other editor / apps based on Electrons. Compared to best Editor in the category, Sublime, VIM or BBedit, TextMate, fast should not be a word you used to describe VSCode. But then over the years Chromium, v8 and VSCode keep making performance improvements VSCode suddenly tick the box of good enough. And after years of CPU performance stagnation, VSCode on M1 is surprisingly fast. Still not Native App speed with many extension, but then I hope CPU performance will continue to improve along with more optimisation.

- idatum 6y agoWhile you're using it on Windows, I recommend giving WSL and Windows Terminal a try. The combination of those with VSCode makes for a nice development environment in my experience.
