The Electron runtime (JavaScript). I work on projects that load files that are tens/hundreds of thousands of lines. No Electron based apps can handle that without choking and crashing. Electron is decent for smaller files and it's got a great ecosystem, but they are definitely not optimized for performance.

Just FYI, the most recent version of vscode supports huge files.

(I agree in general about Sublime performance vs Electron -- Sublime is way more responsive.)

Atom recently moved parts of the large file rendering to some C-ish. Performance has increased monumentally.
