I still prefer sublime text for opening very large files or jotting quick notes.
VSCode load times are heavily correlated to what files I had open last and what extensions I have installed that trigger because of my previously opened files.
When I freshly install VSCode on a machine, it feels blazingly fast. A couple months later when I've loaded up a few linting extensions? Not so much. Of course, the power of these extensions is why I'm using VSCode in the first place. I've yet to see an IDE that can integrate these types of features and not slow-down in some aspect, and VSCode does seem to try to stay as lightweight as possible.
VScode also often has notification prompts when I open it, either from extensions, or as popups generated from the editor itself. This doesn't add load time perse, but it does add to my mental perception of it's load time.
