Why is Visual Studio Code faster than Visual C++ and IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

IDE

I have an old laptop that I had to work on. So jetbrains (java) and visual studio (c++, c#) products work many times slower than visual studio code on Electron (nodejs). At what plug-ins instructed so much that the functionality was leveled. In addition, I turned off all unused plugins in other programs.
And when I read that Electron is garbage, I always mentally agreed with this. But the reality turned out to be different. What is the reason for this disagreement? Why node + chrome is many times faster than the rest?

Answer 1

At what plug-ins instructed so much that the functionality was leveled.

This is your mistake. No plug-ins can equate the code editor with the integrated development environment. Especially with one like IDEA, which is able to perform semantic analysis on the fly.

Answer 2

Because the functionality is very different.

Answer 3

Electron is responsible for the display. Spell checkers and formateras can even be written in assembler
