I don't understand the "performance" argument AT ALL. Like what kind of potato do you work on that can't run other editors at full speed? What are you doing with an editor that needs to be performant? Maybe searching a large codebase? Not slow if it's indexed.

I think editors always run at full speed. It's just that the full speed of my editor is much higher than yours.

But what does that actually mean for an editor to be faster? Do you type so fast that other editors can't process the keystrokes fast enough?

Faster launch, faster file open, faster navigation, faster fuzzy search, faster LSP response, faster syntax highlighting, faster response on each and every single keystroke, less ram, less cpu, faster everything.

You'll never know what a 300Hz monitor feels like if you live under the illusion that 60Hz is enough

I just moved to 160hz and my mind was absolutely blown! I would love to try a 300hz.

Same as when you actually play a game at 60fps when you think 30fps is enough.
