And yesterday I was mercilessly downvoted for saying VSCode is slow compared to software from decades ago.

I'll have to agree to disagree. In my experience IDEs are the one type of software that were always slow, Eclipse is two decades old, and it's slowness was on a whole different level.

Visual Studio 6 was very fast even on my PoS machine at the time.

Faster than Jetbrains on an M1. Not used VS for a while but holy shit that crapped the bed in 2002 performance wise.
