One of my requirements is remote development and vscode has that nailed better than any solution I've ever used. Remote host, container, container on a remote host, cross platform... it 'just works.'

The author doesn't even mention this use case, so I guess we're in very different worlds.

I've used VS Code and for __my__ use case which is a lot of stuff open concurrently, I've never found it to be performant. It always feels laggy. I'm a consulting and I make side projects so I always have a huge amount of context open at once.

Vscode takes more RAM than Chrome nowadays so not a good option for low powered Laptops.

100-200MB of RAM is a lot for all those features?

I guess author would prefer Sublime Text more since it is not eating RAM as much.
