What exactly can it do that Vim or Emacs can't? Vim starts up
literally 100 times faster on my machine, with 17 active
plugins. It also runs everything in a single thread and is still
more responsive than VSC in almost all scenarios.
What are those stupendously complex features that somehow make a
slow start unavoidable? Or to go with your comparison, why do
you think Eclipse has a good reason to start so slowly, on a
modern 8+ thread CPU and SSD?
