    Comments about Visual Studio Code as an Alternative to Sublime Text
    Comment summary: Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is widely praised for being free, offering great customizability, and having strong community support. While it can handle large files similarly to Sublime Text, some users note its higher resource consumption due to Electron. VS Code appeals to developers with its rich set of extensions and built-in Git integration, despite being more of an IDE compared to the simpler Sublime Text.

    VS Code can open large files as Sublime Text. Both programs are nice, but VS Code is free.

    As an Atom fork it has the same problems like Atom being more an IDE than an editor and the usage of the Electron Framework results in extremely more RAM usage (more than factor 10), CPU usage, loading time and disk usage.

    VSCode is still extremely slow, very bloated. But it is a good indicator for bad coders that will produce slow, bloated software and also do not care about privacy or software freedom. Avoid.
