VS Code is insanely slow

I did the following:

  1. Remove the ESLint extension by Microsoft
  2. Disabled autosave
  3. Disabled quick suggestions, only show If ctrl+space

The most notable improvement I got was when I disabled the auto-save feature in VScode that I enabled a long time ago, it must've been triggering some other stuff such as IntelliSense, code snippets, etc.

VS Code is insanely slow

Probably because it's essentially running an entire web browser just to provide a code editor.

Use SublimeText - it's really fast

There's an extensive library of plugins, and I've never seen anything on VSCode there isn't an equivalent for on SublimeText
