May I ask what computer are you using? I would say VS Code runs 'buttery smooth' on my macs. Is this a case of me having no idea of what I'm missing?

I assume the culprit is half baked language extensions. I love vscode for typescript but I’d happily switch which editor I use for rust and C if I find something better.
In comparison, programming Swift in XCode lags so much sometimes that it starts missing keystrokes, and I end up with variable names that are missing half their letters. (This happens particularly when filling in a function's arguments). Its terrible, and it leaves me second guessing the idea that native editors are superior by default. This seems to me like a much more useful target for a new IDE.
The perf I'm taking about is just purely motion to photon, with a plain text file.
I'm a musician, animator, and gamer — and I read Dan Luu's blog posts, haha — so I'm quite sensitive to input lag.
