- To be fair vscode might be referencing itself here - To be fair it’s also likely your code is ass  - It is absolutely both 
 
- At least it has no ties at all to M$. 
 
- People who rag on vscode’s code were not around when electron editors were starting to take off. - Atom and Brackets had terrible performance. - 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 think most of VSCode performance improvements just stem from newer CPUs being faster. 
- 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. - Code lives and dies by its plugins. It can range from heavier weight ide to lighter weight editor depending on what plug ins are loaded. 
 
 
- It definitely improved over the years but even at the time code was leaps and bounds ahead. 
 
- Atom was horribly slow! - Yeah it was terrible but so many extensions! It also helped push Emmett into mainstream 
 
- Brackets had some nice features and a fantastic layout. 
 
- I thought the same. 
 
- This is an authentic message for when you open a php project - Or JS. Any web project, actually. We got this one wrong. 
- Sad php noises 
 
- It’s for the best, I’m told 😔
