The slowness that I've observed almost always comes from the language servers. The rest really isn't much worse, if at all, than something like emacs.

I do keep looking for lighter options, but have yet to find one that actually does all the things I want. Vim and emacs are okay, but getting the right plugins to get the right features I want is a pain. Other options seem to lack the ability to add those features at all.

Language servers are slow. Nobody could have predicted this since on paper json for process to process communication seems like a very sound choice, if the geniuses at microsoft could not solve such a difficult problem then surely this was the best option out of all the potential bad ones.
