It's a good example of how Electron is no excuse for sluggish apps: VSC is very snappy until you start getting really huge files. Don't blame the runtime for your crappy code!

That logic doesn't really follow. I remember reading that the VSC people put a lot of work into making sure it is still fast despite Electron.

Not everyone can do that, so it would be better if the framework was 'fast by default'.

I thought it was because VSC is using c++ binaries for stuff like intellisense
