vscode is the best-case scenario for Electron in my experience; this suggests that you need good diligence to ensure reasonable performance with the framework. Even then, performance is only acceptable, not exceptional.

Sublime Text is a great example of what performance can be like with a different toolkit. Compare it to vscode - even on a fast machine - and you'll start to notice all the little lags that can creep in.

hm but is it comparable? I've used sublime in the past but only as a bare-bones editor. I see vscode more in line with IDEs (it's kinda both), as there ist a lot of functionality and coding support available. Pycharm, Intellij etc are all clunkier in my experience and that's how I mostly use vscode.
