The only issue I have with VS code is it's awful UI/UX performance - it behaves like an Electron app or something.

I realize that's a fair insult around these crowds, but it really does have that lack-of-polish, weird-UI/UX feeling. I know Microsoft would obviously never build an IDE off it, but I'm almost curious to see what on earth they did wrong.

Comparing it side-by-side with Xcode is certainly the easiest way to tell.
