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

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

Sounds like robot-speak to me.
