VSCode has always felt incredibly slow to me, even compared to e.g. pycharm. , which I have always assumed of be otherwise roughly comparable. VSC’s lag in basic code inspection and linting became so annoying I had to switch off it. We’re not talking seconds, but maybe tenths of second lag, for everything at all times. I understand plenty of people love VSC, but honestly I have never been able to share that enthusiasm.

Yep. For some reason, suddenly, vscode became painfully slow on my decently spec'd machine; 3 to 7 seconds per keystroke just to analyse the file to show intellisense tooltips.
Yes, that was in seconds per keystroke.
The irony is that I moved from neovim to vscode because setting up intellisense in (neo)vim was always a hassle and never worked quite well. Pylance seemed too attractive not to give it a spin.
Now the lag has as mysteriously diminished, but still vscode is very far from being as snappy as (n)vim.
