I tried with two 1GB files, one with many lines but each short, another with long lines but not as many:Ĭode: ~10s, smooth scrolling, instant jumping. It really feels like it might be worth it, even just for the speed difference.Īh didn't realize it was the same account. $80 is reasonable for most use cases (developers, etc) but it's a bit steep for mine. I'm still debating (as a hobbyist that doesn't make much money on what I use text editors for) whether the license is worth it for Sublime or if I should just stick to VS Code.

It's hard to put into words how much better it feels to use, like the difference between using applications on a HDD vs an SSD. While the measured time doesn't seem significant- the "feel" of using it does. Though, I revisited Sublime Text today, and I have to say, I know it's just a few seconds saved here and there, but the difference between Sublime and ANY other editor as far as launch/file ready time is a huge gap. It's still faster than this new version of Atom for startup, especially cold starts (with it not open at all, going into FTP client > open file). MS seems to have done some good work on performance.

I've tried so many and like very few of them.
#Mbs smoothscroll code
I've been enjoying VS Code for a while after really trying to find a text-editor on Mac that fits my personal preferences (tab navigation, open new files in tabs in existing window, fast launch time, css syntax highlighting inside of an HTML file).
