What kind of codebases do you work with? Other than with multi-MB files or thousands of multi-cursors, I've never had any performance issues with VS-Code. It's actually one of the fastest Electron apps, I would say. If I notice a delay, it's usually the language server or some support package's background command taking a bit of time.

- speedgoose 2y agoI remember that my computer in 2016 was already fast enough.
- cybrox 2y agoGranted, all of my machines are pretty new and powerful. Maybe performance is a lot worse on >5yo machines.
- drcongo 2y agoIf all you know is VS Code it probably feels fine and you should definitely not try Zed - "one of the fastest Electron apps" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.
- hu3 2y agoSublime is faster still. If speed is your main concern.
- cybrox 2y agoI have used both unbearably slow IDEs like Visual Studio, Android Studio, Atmel Studio and very fast and lightweight editors like Notepad++ and Sublime Text. I don't have any issue with the speed of VS-Code on my machine and it feels the same as Sublime Text used to.
