And this is how we get "the length of 5000 olympic pools", "the length of 200 747s placed nose to tail" etc. Like really, people can't understand 155 miles/250km, or 8.8 miles/14.2km?

Ditto. I went from vim to neovim, but the LSPs for python/go(lang) for large files (not that large, maybe 10k loc) seem to really bog it down (back then, no idea if it's better now), whereas with VS Code it was still performant en
