Its also slow and bloated. You get what you pay for

Bloated, yes. Slow, no. You start at a not so low binary size and memory footprint, but that's it. VS Code is an awesome IDE built on electron and it's really snappy.
VS Code has not been snappy for me. Especially with large screen sizes and lots of widegets. For example, if I close the left-hand pane and shrink the window, performance improves considerably.
Not nearly as snappy as notepad++/sublime, which are in turn not as snappy as Vim.
