Kindly Focus on Performance on Intel Mac and Windows, We need better Animations and UI, instead of voice inputs

Prioritize Performance Optimization:

• Identify Bottlenecks: Utilize profiling tools on both Mac and Windows to pinpoint performance bottlenecks (CPU, memory, GPU, disk I/O, network). Tailor optimizations accordingly.

• Optimize Code: Implement performance-oriented programming practices:

• Reduce Resource Demands:

Enhance Animations and UI:

• Utilize Native Components: For a seamless look and feel, leverage native UI components and design guidelines on each platform (macOS UI frameworks, Win32 API, Windows Forms, WPF).

• Refine Animation Design: Ensure animations are purposeful, smooth, and efficient:

  • Avoid excessive or jarring animations.
  • Reduce animation complexity wherever possible.
  • Use appropriate easing functions for natural-looking movements.

• Optimize Visual Complexity: Prioritize a balance between visual appeal and resource usage:

  • Avoid bloated or overly detailed visuals.
  • Consider vector graphics for scalability and efficiency.
  • Use image compression judiciously.

agreed...

• VSCode is one more piece of evidence behind Electron's well-earned reputation for poor performance and poor stability on Windows
• Why would I want to talk to a machine that has a keyboard? Given the choice between asking Alexa or walking to my PC, opening a new browser tab, querying Bing, & checking the first screen of results... Bing is often faster & easier, has been for years (if I ignore the new ChatGPT box in Bing, which is often just as wrong or nonsensical as Alexa)

Some people have accessibility needs that make voice input a significant benefit.

Recognizing the value of voice input for accessibility is crucial.

While it's a commendable feature, it's essential to address the broader user base concerns, particularly performance issues on various hardware setups. Prioritizing performance improvements could benefit a wider audience.

Thanks for reaching out. Rest assured that performance is on top of our minds and that we constantly measure how we are doing. If wanna learn more watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0OeHRUCCb4 or follow our issues label with perf, perf-bloat, or perf-start. Closing given this issues isn't pin-pointing a particular problem
