I have the same experience on my pretty slow laptop. Granted, my projects aren't big, but I would take vs code over sublime any day. Interestingly, atom feels much slower compared to both.

That's because, unequivocally, atom is slower.

Surprising part isn't that atom is slow, it's that vs code isn't and they both use electron.
