For what it does, it’s slow. I used Jetbrains IDEs and I understand the slowness because of all the linting and indexing. But I bear with it because they are tailored to the language that they support and provide you with great utilities. VSCode tries to be the kitchen sink and it’s not great at either. And it’s not just code editing, every interaction with the interface feels slow. If I have 12 cores and 32 GB of ram, slowness for the same thing I was doing on codeblocks with a P4 and 1 GB of ram is the last thing I would accept.
