Vim/Neovim is practically instant, everything else it too slow in my book.
Yeah turns out the language server and other IDE features are resource intensive. Who knew. TextEdit also starts in under a second.

#92It is supposed to be fast, but starts up in “seconds”. Shame.

#93As a long-term pycharm user that recently migrated to VSCode im quite happy to see jetbrains building this. My main gripe with their stack is that I work across many languages and workflows and I like to use the exact same keymaps configurations and so on and pycharm just didn't give you that. I really love the idea of the virtualized file system allowing you to develop anywhere. I hope this works well. Comparably, V…

Over year ago JetBrains released a post showing they don't understand why VSCode eats their market: > Still, we don’t deny the information could be a bit skewed – even with the weighting we give to our survey results – given that this is from the JetBrains State of Developer Ecosystem survey, and one of JetBrains main products is IntelliJ IDEA. However, that is not to say that this is not totally unreasonable, as if…
> People moved from IntelliJ to VSC because it was faster, simpler and language-agnostic, instead JetBrains blamed users for not using advanced features like CPU profiling which most people don't use daily. They are jumping on simple-editor train now. Better late than never From my experience, most people who nowadays start programming, flock to vscode because it's free, used in most tutorials and then they simply do…
Not that I ever use that - I prefer sticking with the language native tools, and I rarely require anything beyond inspecting runtime values and simple benchmarking.
Maybe this comes from the perspective of Java, where you need an IDE to do proper debugging, building/starting an application requires a gazillion command line arguments, and you have layers upon layers of abstraction to drill through? Those are pains worth taking away, but don't apply to all languages or platforms.

#95Little bit offtopic; I try jetbrains ide's every time I get a new laptop; lately Rider for a 1m+ LoC c# project on my 16gb m1. It is unusable. I like the features but it is so incredibly slow... and it gets even slower as the day goes on.

#97And then JetBrains come out with this... That's certainly pleasant to see!

I really hope it's free too. Otherwise it makes no sense. As a customer paying for full IDE(Rider) I won't kneecap myself by paying for vscode alternative, even though I really hate working in vscode. If they make it free, they could get a big chunk of the market, especially if they actually provide it with IntelliJ level of autocomplete, refactorings, multicursor support etc. They have quite a lot of money from regu…
>If they make it free, they could get a big chunk of the market, especially if they actually provide it with IntelliJ level of autocomplete, refactorings, multicursor support etc. If they did that, then why would anyone buy IntelliJ? I understand why Microsoft came out with VSCode. They didn't have anything to offer for developers who weren't already bought into the Windows/.Net stack. VSCode was an effort to reach o…
I don't know if that's their actual intent, but I can hope.

Why not use intellij ultimate? You can easily add all the language plugins (mod clion based ones).

> DOA without vim bindings though. The number of users pining for Vim and Vim bindings is greatly exaggerated.
The IntelliJ vim plugin has over 11 million downloads. For comparison, the most downloaded plugin is Kotlin, which has 34 million downloads, followed by Scala, which has 22 million downloads.
Number of downloads is a rather poor proxy for actual usage.
