Ah yes. The classic text editor debate thread. In this thread you can expect to find folks claiming that 2 seconds of startup time for editors, like Atom, is so disruptive to their workflow that they'd rather use notepad.

I've switched to VSCode as my go-to text editor and you understate the real impact the poor performance has on my workflow. It's not just startup, almost everything has a 250ms-2s delay; it's not a lot each time but it adds up and is frustrating.

VSCode best use is not for text-editing, its main target is to work as an small version of a full-blown IDE. Use the right tool for the job.

Actually, I use notepad for most things on windows specifically for the startup time... only I replace it with akelpad since it's a little more sensible, but the point remains.

Those kids! On my lawn! When we did it, it was uphill, both ways! I prefer letting butterflies flap their wings to change the atmospheric composition in such a way that the cosmic rays flying through the atmosphere bend to flip bits on this disc.
