- otikik 5y agoFast does not mean only "fast to open", though. When I think about a fast editor I think about opening a 2GB log file and looking for some text, or editing a multi-megabyte Markdown file with syntax highlighting on without any slowdown (something my NeoVim currently struggles with).
- speedgoose 5y agoI just opened a 4GB JSON file in VScode, it took a few seconds to load, but it is fast enough for me. Syntax highlighting disabled itself, but searching text works.
- rplnt 5y agoWhat you say just underlines my point from above. People who are happy with performance of VS Code are not looking at performance graphs in a new editor. And those who seek performance are probably not using VS Code anyway. PS: > macbook pro m1 People were able to run IDEs and code editors 20 years ago. My 5 year old MB Pro is struggling with VS code. Not anything smart either, just UI, syntax highlighting, ... So while "good enough for me" is absolutely valid position, VS Code is objectively slow.
