How Four Native Developers Wrote an Electron App

I like VS Code and I don't want to crap on it, but I frequently experience massive UI lag on Windows - i.e., I start typing and the letters show up five seconds later. I think maybe it's related to source control? The same laptop runs Visual Studio fine.

Do you have any kind of anti-virus tool running? I experienced several slowdowns for autocompletion in VSCode, which turned away once Avira was deactivated. I think VsCode (and especially some plugins like the language services) are working with lots of files in the background, which got slowed down due to the filtering of these tools.

Out of curiosity, do you get this regardless of file type? I've noticed something similar but only in Python files, and I had assumed I had misconfigured my setup somehow. Just curious if your experience was similar.

I see it in text files and Rust code, which are the only ones I've edited so far in VSC.

oh heck, I get that in Visual Studio, IntelliJ, and XCode. Not saying I'm in love with electron apps, but they have their place. (I once wrote a trivial app using Adobe Air, also consumed hundreds of megs of ran, all the same issues as Electron...it just seems like the nature of the beast)
