I said basically the same in a sibling comment but I can't agree with you. VS Code doesn't start fast enough and it's not smooth to write with. It's not exactly bad but you definitely feel the slight delays and slowness all the time.
I went back to Sublime exactly to get faster startup and smoother writing than what VS Code was offering. So I'm pretty excited to see how Zed turns out!
Sublime test starts faster and smoother than vscode, but it's plugins leave too much to be desired compared to a good vscode setup.
I was a massive sublime text 2 user with a living document I would share on how to set everything up just right, but now I only ever use it to open the odd 100+mb sql dump if I want to search for something and have it be syntax highlighted.
I don't percieve any of that but I also don't care if a game framerate is 30 or 60 or 120, it's probably the same type of brain difference! More choices is always a good thing.
