Hmm, I have never seen any typing latency with VS Code, but I use fast computers and few plugins. It is indeed slow during initial loading, and unusable with large files.
My comment wasn't intended to advocate for inefficient software based on web browser cores; I was just trying to note that most of Atom's abysmal performance issues seem to be more Atom's fault than Electron's, since VSCode is so much better.
Sublime, and any competently-designed native text editor, will always be faster than one based on Electron. Still, I leave both editors (and a few others) open throughout my workday.
