      No, no it is not, especially when compared to IJ.

      It launches and reloads my projects to a usable state in probably 2-3 seconds on my machine and it basically never randomly freezes like IJ did for me. People who say vscode is slow just have a hate boner for electron.

        No, I say that it’s slow because switching between files and watching the syntax highlighting come in takes long enough that it knocks me out of flow state.

        EDIT: Tbf, me saying it’s AS slow as IntelliJ was more of a joke. But don’t get me wrong. I still do consider VSCode to be slow. 2-3 seconds to open a project is slow, regardless of project size.

          Are you a robot? That process is not visible on my machine. Probably a 100ms thing. Humans perceive a speed like that as “instant”.

            Nah it’s like when you write your scripts in JS, and you’re like “ooo it’s instant!” And then you rewrite it in a compiled language… and you realize that your original script was, in fact, not instant. And then if I have to keep running the original script, it’s gonna bug me every time I notice.

      You cannot even compare the 2. Intellij is so bad it crashes my machine. Vscode is fast
