    You cannot even compare the 2. Intellij is so bad it crashes my machine. Vscode is fast

      For me, they both fall into the “I can’t stand this because it is too slow” category. So same difference. I have used vscode from time to time because I wanted to use certain plugins, but dropped it after a month or two every time STRICTLY because of performance (even without plugins). Like literally, the only reason I dropped it.

      It’s text editing, not gaming. If it isn’t instant, it’s slow. Even for gui text editors, Sublime Text has had that dialed for like 15 years. VSCode intentionally traded performance for ecosystem (and to great success)! But imo, newer editors like Zed have better bones, and are going to slowly but surely eat their lunch.
