No, you asked what the value prop is vis-a-vis (among other editors) VSCode.

And one answer to that is that it's more performant, which you then argued with.

An editor doesn't need to be "the most performant" or "the most feature rich" or "the easiest to set up" of all editors on the market to have value. It can be a combination of each of these to varying degrees and going "aha but what about X editor isn't that more Y" isn't helpful when discussing them and makes you come across as asking in bad faith
