Congrats on the release!

I was an avid user (and paying customer!) of ST1 and ST2. Somewhere along the way I switched to VS Code. Why should I use ST4 over VS Code today?

Perfs! If you don't want to wait 4h for files to load. When I see my colleagues trying to open files on VS, I can't understand how that's acceptable.

For what kind of files? On windows code once opened in a workspace context opens normal source files of a project almost instantly.

Are you talking about cold boot or huge log files?

The only place for me code breaks down is with long jsons/js files that haven't beet prettified and are a long long string.

That is not true about vscode anymore. It is fairly performant now.

"Fairly" performant vs the blazing speed of ST?
