I hear you. However, vscode isn’t the main guilty in my opinion. The problems often are generated by the extensions, build not very well! I usually keep the number of extensions low to reduce this problem. Or try to detect which extension creates slowdowns!
Yes, extensions can be a massive contributor to resource usage. As I am primarily doing Node.js development, I have few extensions. In fact, I recently removed "Bracket Pair Colorizer 2", which had been a resource hog at one point until it was fixed, due to the functionality now being built-in to Code.
I have wonder how the version that comes out a year from now will compare in performance to this months version. As I mentioned, I recall how Visual Studio 2013 was slower than Visual Studio 2010 which itself was slower than Visual Studio 2008, 2005, 2003, etc. Visual Studio 2017 took forever to start up on hardware that ran 2013 adequately. Pretty much like iOS releases that force you to get new hardware every three years just to keep things running with reasonable speed.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
