extensions tend to be the slow part in my experience. after a couple heavy extensions on an already struggling work laptop I’ll frequently outpace it’s input handling and have to wait for it to catch up
They certainly can be. Admittedly over time I’ve installed a lot of extensions but also gotten better hardware along the way. All I know is that despite having like 20 extensions installed I can startup vs code in just 3-5 seconds
And yet vs code is barely slower than editors with practically no features. Silly thing to argue about, but it’s certainly very fast considering the featureset
Vs code is slow? Literally the entire reason I switched to it years ago is because it’s very fast.

Yep, VSCode is slow because it is built on Electron which is just a another browser.
Aware. V8 is fast.
