VSC is an interesting case because they opted not to use any JS frameworks for performance

It's quick and doesn't lag at all, even with the couple dozen plugins I have installed. Compare that to Atom (or whatever it's called now) with zero plugins.

i cant relate sadly. ive got a decent computer but vscode still takes a while to load (with plugins). neovim on the other hand takes a split second to open, and has never crashed on me, even with the equivilent of my vscode plugins
