I switched back from VSCode to Sublime Text (despite enjoying Intellisense) due to how much more responsive the scrolling is in Sublime.

Same here, maybe it’s only in my head, but for me subl is just better.

It is massively better in latency than any other editor I've tried. No surprise, since I believe it's C++.

Unfortunately sublime's plugin ecosystem isn't very lively.

I couldn't even type 2 chars in vscode on a 2nd gen i5. To be fair it's been decades since I've experienced that amount of delay. Thanks I guess

If you're have a problem with performance in vscode 95/100 times it's memory not cpu bound. Obviously emacs uses less memory than vscode, at least at base configuration.

Maybe, it's still incredible to think that memory pressure would create that much latency. And I'm not that picky, I use a hp48 calc (on which lag is almost a feature). I'm just shocked when people say emacs is sluggish while vscode flies.
