why? I don't have a problem with it, building extensions for VS Code is pretty easy Alternatives have a lot of features to implement to reach parity | ||

Complaining about Electron is an ideological battle, not a practical argument. The people who push these arguments don’t care that it actually runs very well on even below average developer laptops, they think it should have been written in something native. | ||

Ease of writing and testing extensions is actually the cause why Electron won IDE wars. Microsoft made a great decision to jump on the trend and just pour money to lap Atom and such in optimization and polish. Especially when you compare it to Microsoft effort for desktop. They acumulated several more or less component libraries over they years and I still prefer WinForms. | ||
