By "struggles" do you simply mean there's perceptible lag? I see cracks in the window blits while scrolling fast, that's all. I can understand being that picky about your video games, but it just doesn't rise to the level of actually affecting usability in a text editor for me. Would I like it to be as silky smooth as Sublime? Sure, but it's far from a showstopper.

I keep wondering if people making comments like yours are having much more severe perf issues than I am, or if you're just extremely picky.

Programmers have high standards for text editors. :) And why not? AAA games are getting bigger and more visually pleasing, so sometimes your machine can't keep up unless it's a newer build. But editing simple text should be an absolute breeze in this day and age on our computers. Even for those of us who are more easily bothered.

I have extremely high standards for my text editor: its features should make me very productive. I am more productive in vim than I am in sublime, but I've never once fretted about the fact that my vim screen updates are gated to the speed that my terminal window can draw, and that's certainly nowhere near as fluid as sublime.
