VSCode is heavy and slow. Not so much by IDE standards, but as a text editor, it is awful. It is what keeps me on Sublime Text. On a decent computer, VSCode is completely usable, but it is slow enough to be felt, especially when compared to a more lightweight editor. On the old, underpowered and bloated corporate laptop I have to use from time to time, VSCode is slow enough to impact productivity. On the same computer, Notepad++ is fine.
