Yes it is, VSCode is so painfully slow. Maybe I have Vim brain rot but the input latency in VSCode is extremely noticeable and there's the whole having to use a mouse for proficiency that slows you down too.

I'd pay decent money for an editor that could be faster than Neovim but until then they get my yearly donation.

There's so much that can be gained solely on speed alone. Especially for JetBrains products here too.
