Which is a great argument for Xi's architectural choice to disentangle syntax highlighting and display out into separate processes.
I can definitely say that atom has performance issues. I get lockups and stutters working on small and medium sized files (hundreds to thousands of lines) and it is infuriating. It is unfortunate because there are a lot of great new plugins for these platforms but they consistently cause me all kinds of trouble.
Old school editors(like vim or emacs) or modern IDEs perform much better as text editors nowadays compared to plain modern text editors.
... aside from the fact that I can compile some projects faster than it takes just to start up.
If IntelliJ were a car, it'd be gas guzzling SUV with a hole in the gas tank.
One of my worst IDE experiences was working on a Scala project in Eclipse, with a whole ton of plugins installed. Latency was incredibly high. It was like working on a lagged 300 baud terminal.
