How do people put up with VS Code and laggy text input though? I used it on Win10 and Linux and both occasions there is noticeably lag when typing.I look at the screen while I type most of the time and this lag makes coding impossible for me because I like to see what I'm writing in real time.

I've noticed this happen especially on big projects/files.

Also, sometimes the auto complete popup is very slow to appear and causes lag.

I don't use many GUI text editors and have not compared VS to Atom/sublime, but for me this is just unacceptable.

It's not laggy for me on any device I can run it on. I regularly use IntelliJ Idea and that feels sticky and slow compared to the input of VSCode.

For me, Kate was the solution to this since it uses text completion not code completion.
