 VS Code seems to get real slow when it needs an update.

Is this intentional? Like, is Microsoft prodding me to do the update by making it slow so I notice? #asknostr 
 Ditch VSCode and join the vim gang. 
 I was VIM only for many years. VS Code won me over. 
 I have tried to use VSCode, cannot seem to allow myself to use MS tools for anything 
 use vs codium… only thing is I haven’t found how to use copilot with it 
 Haven’t heard of codium 
 i wish there was better but at least as far as #golang jetbrains intellij based IDEs are the best, and not even that expensive at like $12/month

i've also used IDEA and Clion and RustRover and they all seem to be pretty good

i haven't used VSCode since about 2019... and it's still absolute shit for Go

Java > Javascript 
 JavaScript is my love language 
 it's awfully slow for programming tools tho, i mean, 1/10th the speed of a java app

jetbrains webstorm is pretty good though if that's your thing 
 Switch to VSCodium to cut out the MS spyware crap 
 Haven’t heard of this, will check it out.
