I have a feeling that the recent move to OpenGL rendering for Sublime was a mistake. I know, we did with Firefox and WebRender as well. And yet, when compiling a heavy project on a modern machine, I can scroll fine in Firefox, but Sublime chugs, becoming unusable. For Sublime, it should be assumed that some code is compiling all the time!
I still daily drive Sublime. I haven’t found an editor with less latency. It’s so fast and so consistent. VS Code feels like Eclipse in comparison.

What did it use prior to opengl? Is there a blog o anything that talks about that move?
everyone's mentioning the speed (as they should), but I also prefer sublimeText for the GUI (or lack thereof). After a decade of using it, the keyboard shortcuts are also hardwired into my soul. I also started using sublime Merge recently and I think I may feel the same way about it
That used to be my reason for not using VSCode, but then I started using this: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscod...
In his documentation he mentions that he made the plugin in part because he did not want Paredit mandated by a plugin. I was curious to see what kind of structural editing he used instead, so I tuned into one of his streams. Turns out he just writes raw lisp in sublime text, and he's fast as hell at it too.
Since then I've been trying out using Sublime for Clojure development and falling back on Intellij when I need anything more than basic inline/REBL debugging, and I'm very happy with it so far.
If you have any questions related to ST or otherwise feel free to ask.
I still use Sublime for when I want to visually edit each line of large text files. I find the performance to be superior to alternatives, but it’s been a while since I’ve done a comparison.

Daily driving to do what type of work exactly? I've been using VS Code for years now, and while it is measurably slower (I still use sublime to handle ad-hoc grepping log files as code just won't handle that, and scrollable, highlighting and multicursor is MUCH better than smacking bash pipes together), the batteries included "It just works" approach of code means I don't really see a reason to head back. Maybe it's…
If I want to edit config files for basic things, isn't vim better? And if I want more power, isn't an IDE better? At this point I honestly like Atom more than Code. Even on Linux.
