> Do you have someone spend extra time optimising your software or do you have them produce more functionality

Depends. In general, I'd rather have devs optimize the software rather than adding new features just for the sake of change.

I don't use most of the new features in macOS, Windows, or Android. I mostly want an efficient environment to run my apps and security improvements. I'm not that happy about many of the improvements in macOS (eg the settings app).

Same with design software. I don't use most of the new features introduced by Adobe. I'd be happy using Illustrator or Photoshop from 10 years ago. I want less bloat, not more.

I also do audio and music production. Here I do want new features because the workflow is still being improved but definitely not at the cost of efficiency.

Regarding code editors I'm happy with VSCode in terms of features. I don't need anything else. I do want better LSPs but these are not part of the editor core. I wish VSCode was faster and consumed less memory though.
