I have tried VSCode many times, but I find the performance of the notebook UI to be terrible. It seems to be popular, so maybe it's just me.

In any case, jupyterlab + jupyter-lsp gets most of the benefits for me.

Would be curious how long ago you tried this and what your setup is? The lowest spec machine I have is a Windows 10 machine with an i7 and 8 GB RAM and it is super responsive on the latest version of VS Code.

A few weeks ago with Ubuntu 22.04 on i7 with 16GB RAM. Perhaps it's related to using the devcontainer feature of VSCode, although I run jupyterlab in the same container

That might be it. I’m not sure about devcontainers (I don’t use them) but as a data point I dual boot into kubuntu on an 7 year old i7 with 8 gigs of RAM and there are no responsive issues.
