C++ based editors like Kate blow both VSC and IJ out of the water. Runs so fast it feels janky, like the computer isn't doing anything.
And it offers vastly more features than VS Code.
Also, if you’re on a Mac — there’s an Apple Silicon build that is noticeably better.
This is not a good argument in a thread where the central claim is that VSC is a resource hog but other IDEs aren't
I just wrote the exact same thing in another comment.
That's what the problem is ... it's the old timers complaining that things aren't native, thus they are RAM hogs and are slow by default. Even if they are fast, they are "slow and bloated" just because it's the gut reaction when you have layers on layers of other stuff over native code.
And I'm an old timer but I am not complaining. I love VS Code and I think it's blazing fast for what I need it for, a large Angular enterprise application.
Because you need to sink hundreds of thousands of man-hours into making it work.
And fight against web tech most of the time you're doing that.
