Why would you offset the Electron overhead? Plenty of other editors don't use web tech, so it doesn't make sense to give VSCode a free pass for choosing to use it. Anyway, I tried running with no plugins for a while, and still had the problems (open file dialog failing, and random occurrences of "running file rename participants" hanging for a long time) occasionally. It happens sporadically on both my M1 MacBook Air running macOS and my Threadripper workstation running Linux, even with no shared config and only editing local files, so I am pretty sure it's just buggy VSCode. I found numerous old bug reports about similar issues. All closed without resolution after being ignored for months. Edit: oh, and about the CPU and RAM, this is mostly an issue on my MacBook — VSCode is the only software I have ever found that will make it noticeably lag sometimes. I can always close it and open it again with the same files and it will work perfectly for another few days.
