I found it incredibly distracting. In Emacs... Magit is instantaneous while orgmode tangle/export is embarrassingly slow - but never a dealbreaker
anecdotally eshell has some of the lowest latencies as well https://danluu.com/term-latency/ https://danluu.com/term-latency/
- andai 6y agoI switched back from VSCode to Sublime Text (despite enjoying Intellisense) due to how much more responsive the scrolling is in Sublime.
- nxpnsv 6y agoSame here, maybe it’s only in my head, but for me subl is just better.
- darthrupert 6y agoIt is massively better in latency than any other editor I've tried. No surprise, since I believe it's C++. Unfortunately sublime's plugin ecosystem isn't very lively.
- agumonkey 6y agoI couldn't even type 2 chars in vscode on a 2nd gen i5. To be fair it's been decades since I've experienced that amount of delay. Thanks I guess
- stjohnswarts 6y agoIf you're have a problem with performance in vscode 95/100 times it's memory not cpu bound. Obviously emacs uses less memory than vscode, at least at base configuration.
- agumonkey 6y agoMaybe, it's still incredible to think that memory pressure would create that much latency. And I'm not that picky, I use a hp48 calc (on which lag is almost a feature). I'm just shocked when people say emacs is sluggish while vscode flies.
