Agreed.

People talk about fast start-up times, and no latency etc like these are problems with vscode?

I just did a cold start of vscode here and it took approx 1 second to start on a M1 mac. For what it is worth, I generally never really even close vscode during the day - its typically open for days and days at a time so startup time seems kinda unimportant.

And as for latency, has anyone ever noticed any latency at all when using vscode? I certainly have not, and either way I have never been held back from coding by how fast I can type things, instead the limited function in programming has always been the thought process and deliberation for how to approach a problem. If anything, build/test times are the limiting factor after that, not UI latency.

Never noticed UI latency when doing elixir programming. The slowdown is always the very slow compiler and language server.

Takes a few seconds to even highlight issues, and that’s when it works.
