Visual Studio 6 was very fast even on my PoS machine at the time.
Faster than Jetbrains on an M1. Not used VS for a while but holy shit that crapped the bed in 2002 performance wise.

At least you’re getting a lot for that, though I don’t love Electron either. What does notepad.exe of today have over notepad.exe of 25 years ago? UTF-8 I guess. Not sure if find and replace was a thing in the olden days. Better line ending support too. I’m really wracking my brains here to think of stuff
