It's not my intention to bash it or any other editor/IDE for that matter. What I am referring to is VSCode's comparatively sluggish performance and the strain it puts on the computer's resources.Īlthough Microsoft did an amazing job of optimizing and squeezing every last bit of performance out of Electron, there's no getting away from the fact that VSCode will always be at a disadvantage compared to other code editors written in more low-level languages.Īlso, and this is obviously more of a personal preference, I find VS Code's design and layout to be a bit too "busy" for my tastes as I prefer a more clean and minimalist UI with less distractions.įortunately, as you'll soon see, there are alternatives. No, I'm not talking about Microsoft harvesting your data for their nefarious purposes (although that's certainly an issue in my opinion). It is maintained and regularly updated by Microsoft and has a vibrant community of users and developers. It has many useful built-in features as well as tons of 3rd party extensions in it's marketplace. ![]() VSCode needs no introduction as it is probably the most popular IDE/code editor at the moment.
