The Visual Studio code user experience is bad - in part because it is an electron app that is not as snappy as native GUI frameworks, but also for a variety of other reasons. I do not use it voluntarily and resent that many coding tools I would like to use deliberately architect themselves as VSCode plugins rather than more general tools applicable to any editor.

I have definitely run into issues with the UI not visually keeping up with keystrokes in VSCode (occasionally), and also other Electron apps (more often - perhaps they haven't had as much attention to optimization as VSCode has). For this reason alone, I dislike the Electron ecosystem and I am extremely interested in projects to develop alternative cross platform renderers.

Ultimately I would like to see Electron become a dead project so I never have to run into some interesting or useful or mandatory piece of software I need to use that was written using Electron because it was the most obvious choice for the developer.
