> Can we build a code editor fast enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re typing in a browser? Is this a jab at Atom? I like this.
So I believe it's a jab at both.
VSCode has done the thing that nobody expected MS to do, change the way code was written on Unix/Linux. I love linux/unix, but the problem always was with the lack of an awesome text editor cum IDE, yep there is eclipse but it is too clunky, I do not like sublime as it isn't FOSS (call me crazy), gedit took way too much memory, geany is fast and mean but the UI sucks plus functionality isn't that great. Enter VSCode,…
Are there any emacs/vim users here who moved to GUI editors like atom or VS code? I would like to know what potential gains could come from using a GUI text editor.

What I'm really looking for is something like Atom's Neovim Mode [4], allowing me to use Atom's flexible UI (hey there, CSS) with vim's modal editor, wealth of plugins, and my config (keybindings, etc...).

I've noticed this happen especially on big projects/files.
Also, sometimes the auto complete popup is very slow to appear and causes lag.
I don't use many GUI text editors and have not compared VS to Atom/sublime, but for me this is just unacceptable.
Still no CLI mode for editing text. Vim has had this for years. How am I supposed to integrate this behemoth into my work flow if I can't even run it in a terminal? It's just too clunky for my taste. It's also hilarious that Atom gets shat on for data collection when no one cares that VS does it too. Microsoft can do no wrong, only OSS projects have standards to live up to.
Can I ask what you'd be looking for out of a new editor that Vim doesn't already do for you? Hard to see the point of this comment.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
smooth as butter on my macbook.
But you shouldn't need high end hardware to run a text editor.

I'm a heavy IDE and Emacs guy though, so perhaps I'm missing something.
