    People who rag on vscode's code were not around when electron editors were starting to take off.

    Atom and Brackets had terrible performance.

    To be fair so did VSCode. It took years to get it under control and even then it's nowhere near as light as a native IDE.

    i haven't used an IDE in years but when I did I switched to notepads because every IDE i used was bloated and slow. is this not still the case? frankly VS Code is rapidly approaching the point where it's just as bloated and slow as I remember those IDEs being so i'm not exactly trying to come to its defense here.

    Whenever I work on bigger projects, I use JetBrains IDEs, when I just want to edit a single file I use KWrite. VSCode barely has any use to me anymore (especially due to its lack of proper auto-completion compared to JetBrains) except for html/react projects.
