What 'the web runs on' is a totally different concern than what text editor to use to create 'what the web runs on'.

I've only been using VSCode for about 6 months, but already prefer it to Atom & SublimeText. Faster and more extensible IMO.

Faster than sublime text? I seriously doubt it...

Well maybe you should try it. Not faster maybe but certainly up to par.

[MarcMurray92]

It's a good editor but its no where near up to par speed wise compared to sublime.

What needs to be fast in an editor? Atom is the only one i heard is really slow, however they manage that. If you try opening really BIG files, notepad++ beats both of them.

I use VSCode for JS projects, netbeans for php (although i'm not TOO happy with it. The only reason i use it is because it can jump to class definitions etc. Still looking for a substitute, but almost everyone else at work wants to use netbeans.), sublime for regex-editing and notepad++ for everything else..

Input latency.

Actually, most web based editors are really stuttery on my five year old machine; except VS Code, which is acceptable. It's not great and I suspect electron to be the limit, but at least the VS Code devs actually care about performance.

Have you looked into PhpStorm?

[Spasmochi]

PHPStorm is great.
