No I do find the MacBook Air pretty snappy in general. It's just that I do feel an actual very noticeable snappiness difference between VSCode and Sublime/Zed; especially for switching between files within a project. I can still be productive in VSCode (in fact, I think it was the best text editor for a short time when they had the best syntax highlighting of the lighter-ish-text editors). But once LSP was integrated in Sublime, I switched back. Zed feels fast snappy for me, though. So I've been using that more.

Interesting. I used Sublime a long time. I actually thought it was a dead project now.

it doesn't have as many features as the other editors these days, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend. But I used it for more than 10 years, so my configs and plugins pretty tuned to exactly how I like. So it's my comfy place. And it still feels faster than pretty much everything, sans some terminal editors (but those aren't as comfy for me).
