Sublime Text 4166 has some major improvements in that area, previously ST would check every file in the side bar for changes in order to update its index but this is now done incrementally.

This is very strange to me, because I have always used Sublime Text for super-giant corporate repos, and always found it snappy compared to vscode. Wonder if it was a specific usecase or something...

Every little while, I try to make vscode my main editor, because I enjoy all the features. I always switch back to Sublime just because VSCode's slowness bugs me.

Haven't really tried Zed in earnest yet, though, because of no custom LSP support.

I'll be eager to try Zed when it gets LSP support for sure

I think on Linux at least it freezes due to watching too many files using inotify to update its sidebar. I wish there was an option to disable that. Same thing happens with Sublime Merge. It’s unusable on giant repos.
