You need a decent machine to run iJ, but it’s worth it and it’s really fast when you have enough RAM to give it. I recommend at least 32, but I have 64.
Im not sure what you are doing but vscode is extremely fast unless you throw a several megabytes data file at it which then it bogs down. But even then, its only at loading the file since it loads the whole thing into memory instead of a buffer.
It launches and reloads my projects to a usable state in probably 2-3 seconds on my machine and it basically never randomly freezes like IJ did for me. People who say vscode is slow just have a hate boner for electron.
The funny thing about this conversation is I normally feel like I have less of a tolerance for slow computers than anyone else. So yeah, I harped on my employer the last two machines to get upgrades asap, and my home pc’s are pretty fast.
Lol wow, intelliJ? Shit’s slow as fuck
I have 60ish plugins for VS Code and IntelliJ is still slower / sluggish.
Eh… No?
You prefer to focus on its other shortcomings?
it isn’t particularly slow if you have enough RAM and it has indexed the project
I personally found VSCode slower.

You cannot even compare the 2. Intellij is so bad it crashes my machine. Vscode is fast

My laptop definitely prefers Emacs. VSCode is just another electron app after all.

No, no it is not, especially when compared to IJ.

Are you a robot? That process is not visible on my machine. Probably a 100ms thing. Humans perceive a speed like that as “instant”.

Sounds like robot-speak to me.
