There is one paragraph at the start where I thought "yep, the author just answered his own question here": Only in software, it’s fine if a program runs at 1%

There is one paragraph at the start where I thought "yep, the author just answered his own question here":
Only in software, it’s fine if a program runs at 1% or even 0.01% of the possible performance. Everybody just seems to be ok with it.
So yeah, everybody is ok with it. Move on.
- majewsky 3y agoThis thread is ample evidence that not everybody is ok with it. Also, note that "being ok with it" and "seeming to be ok with it" are two extremely different things.
- koonsolo 3y agoI'll leave you with this link, the top IDE index: https://pypl.github.io/IDE.html https://pypl.github.io/IDE.html Surely you can see that this top list is optimized for features, not for speed. So yeah, people can complain here on HN all they want, in the end the 'evidence' of which software is preferred is pretty clear, even in the programmer demographic.
- majewsky 3y agoGoing by number of search queries is such an obviously flawed assessment method. These results could just as well mean that the users of VS Code experience the most problems with their IDE and thus need to search for answers more often. I don't know when I last searched for Vim on a search engine; stuff just works for me. :)
