I have both. VSCode is noticeably faster. How do you know jetbrains new editor isn't a "Dom editor"?

I kinda hope JB built it as a native editor and just uses a scripting language for plugins.

Because VSCode is a fancy text editor, not a full-blown IDE like intellij. Even with myriads of extensions, the gap is real between the two.

What does that have anything to respond to the question?

I kept seeing people making this claim as if there is a definition of what an IDE is. VSC has project-wide code anyalysis and step debug. It may not be a good IDE in YOUR opinion but tell me what definition of IDE are you using?

In the comments on the article someone from JetBrains said it was coded in Kotlin and Rust.
