Not last time I tried it a few months ago. It didn't last on my machine
very long.

It looks nice. But I do a lot of my work on a laptop, and it was just
too slow to load, and once up, too slot to run.

Plus I don't use things like code completion anyway. It gets in the way
of my typing - I'm often not looking at the screen when I type.

I agree - Crimson is great. Small, fast, and without a lot of baggage.
