I used to run vim and VS Code on a Core 2 Duo from 2005. Vim is a lot faster but VS Code is so much more powerful — it’s a full featured IDE. It’s not a quick and dirty text editor like Kate. It’s not meant to be that. I still use vim to edit config files but for everything else I use VS Code.

I’ve since upgraded to a 2014 i7 and now VS Code feels fast.

Kate is not a "quick and dirty text editor" either? Kate has session and project support (admittedly a bit more clunky than VSCode, but it works), good LSP support, decent built-in search, GDB integration, a built-in terminal, Git integration, etc. Sure, it may be less polished than VSCode in some of these aspects, but they're there and mostly just work.

I use VSCode NeoVim and clangd. This has gotten so good, although command mode took awhile, that I rarely need to use a terminal vim.
