I’ve been a long time user of Sublime Text. I’ve bounced off VS Code every time I’ve tried to use it because it feels too sluggish. Should I just knuckle down and try to make the switch because that’s the direction everyone seems to be headed?

I’m putting more effort into setting up my workspace. I need a proper office chair next but they’re incredibly expensive. Even the mid-level ones are way above what I’d expected.
