Comparison is missing editors that would compete with this. VS Code is huge and slow, but somehow people use it and love the extensibility and broad support. Goland is just a beast that does so much more it's not even in the same league.
What would make sense in the comparison chart is something like ST3.
VSCode opens within about 2 seconds on my machine which for me is fast. For some users they want it to open even faster than that so something like vim makes sense.
Visual studio 2019 on the other hand takes about a minute to a large project and with resharper even longer.
When I think about a fast editor I think about opening a 2GB log file and looking for some text, or editing a multi-megabyte Markdown file with syntax highlighting on without any slowdown (something my NeoVim currently struggles with).
I just opened a 4GB JSON file in VScode, it took a few seconds to load, but it is fast enough for me. Syntax highlighting disabled itself, but searching text works.
What you say just underlines my point from above. People who are happy with performance of VS Code are not looking at performance graphs in a new editor. And those who seek performance are probably not using VS Code anyway.

People were able to run IDEs and code editors 20 years ago. My 5 year old MB Pro is struggling with VS code. Not anything smart either, just UI, syntax highlighting, ... So while "good enough for me" is absolutely valid position, VS Code is objectively slow.
