Hmm, VSCode uses a web browser (and I think also the DOM) to display/edit text, and I find it to be perfectly snappy (Atom was unusably slow on my work codebase).

GitHub doesn't do desktop software. Msft does. I'm assuming that is a big reason why they have a big performance boost.

VSCode uses a Canvas layer, which allows it to skip some of the steps that slow down Atom's rendering
