Why does vscode feel so slow? Well, just look at the startup time:
⯠time code-oss && pkill -9 -f code-oss
Warning: 'app' is not in the list of known options, but still passed to Electron/Chromium.
'code-oss' time: 0.089s, cpu: 99%
â® time nvim -c ":q"
'nvim -c ":q"' time: 0.025s, cpu: 31%
I used vscode for a while... Good programming language support is far more important than UI speed
when using an editor.
VSCode did something amazing that had never been done before though: it developed an excellent standard for LSP
, the Language Server Protocol
, making it possible to connect these LSPs to other editors.
Thanks to vscode, it's now possible to get excellent programming language support into neovim!
