This seems like something that if they are going to address performance comprehensively they are going to need to benchmark and watch for improvements and regressions on their builds.

Without some concrete benchmarks I'm not inclined to go to the trouble of trying it again.

Wish they'd included VS Code in that comparison.

I ran the tests myself a while back.

One thing that really surprised me was that my terminal emulator made even things like nano or neovim have high latency.

I suspect that most people don't really care that much about the difference between 30 and 10, but care whenever the latency spikes to 60-70 (which is more likely in VSCode and especially Atom, compared to neovim).
