I don't understand how it's so slow for you then. I don't even use VSCode regularly (prefer the other IDE), but I keep it around specifically because it's so fast to open. A good lightweight alternative when I don't want to wait for my real IDE.

It's never taken more than a few seconds to load... whether on M1 or x86 Macs or Windows. How weird.

I don't know either, but it's definitely a common case. They have around 200 issues devoted to startup performance.

Meanwhile, NeoVim is consistently starting under 500ms for me, even being heavy loaded with plugins and offering all the same functionality (NeoVim is pretty awesome as an IDE these days).
