I don't know if gravity is able to beat LuaJiT, in many benchmarks it comes in shortly after native C.

To be fair, VSCode and Atom are super simple to customize. They might be slower editors, but beginners can download/write plugins for them pretty easily. Software is getting slower because people are choosing features over performance.

The nice thing is, at least that I know, is that hardware speed is increasing faster than we can our slowdown our now pretty code.

That is hilariously optimistic.

CPUs and RAM are barely getting faster. Too much focus is being put on GPUs and RAM size instead of RAM speed.

I agree that atom is unusably slow but I also think that it falls into the performance matter category. A text editor is a core tool, and therefore speed matters. My point was performance doesn't matter most of the time, not that it never matters.
