Is this due to some notion of it being slow? VSCode is fast, native-fast. With a fantastic plugin ecosystem

I've been a full-time Vim user for the past decade (now NeoVim) but I've seriously considered switching, VSCode with vim mode turned on is truly fantastic, it's just not portable enough for my needs.

Not when starting up…


I'd consider startup time the least important metric for measuring speed of a text editor - as long as it's not ridiculous.

Important speed metrics for me are: Switching between buffers

Scrolling up/down a page (vim used to be terrible for me before i switched terminals to Kitty)
