VS Code is fine and I actually use it quite a bit. Whoever says, it is "hella fast" either never used a really fast text editor or only compares it to Atom.

Exactly, try Notepad++ and then get back to us.

VSCodium (

) is a better alternative. Same but no Microsoft branding and telemetry.

It’s highly improbable that telemetry slows Code down enough (or even by a perceptible amount) that a user would find it “slow” vs. VSCodium.
