Gonna pile up. VS Code with barely any plugins on M1 is noticeably slower than IDEs I've used 15 years ago on a hardware from 20 years go. Slower to render, slower to react to my inpit. It's bordering on unusable on a x86 laptop from few years back.

Better showcase on how ridiculous the tech stack is would be to open a 500 line file with a code and scroll. Startup isn't great either, though it isn't comically bad as it used to be.

So yeah, I want to see the authors of any desktop software to address this modern problem of writing slow UI. Otherwise I might assume they don't care.

Some people need to use at least one time in life IDEs like Visual Basic 6 in a Pentium 4 to feel what it's like to use a fast IDE

What IDE do you use nowadays if not VS Code? I'm curious because I'm also using an M1 Mac and I've ran through the gamut (Sublime, PyCharm, Atom, etc).

Sublime mostly, not a fully-featured IDE I'd say. For front-end I'm using VS Code, that's only here and there, and that's where the struggle comes from.

Last time I've tried Idea/etc was quite a few years ago. It didn't feel great. But maybe I should force myself into it. Might be better on M1.

I also open regular Visual Studio every few months for C# on Windows, and while it's slow to start, the editor feels really solid, quick, and responsive.
