VS Code is a lean, mean writing machine, and it might just be the perfect writing app. However, the program in its stock form can be a bit underwhelming, and before long, you'll find yourself installing several extensions as you use it more. Because VS Code is built on Electron, you'll quickly find that you add more extensions, and as your files get bigger, the editor starts gasping for air.
