True, but again this is the case where the primary function of an editor is to edit, so people naturally get upset when editing is slow. But if only Slack worked as nearly as good as VSCode does, I think we wouldn't be trashing Electron so much.

But then again, Electron is the best example where neither users want it nor developers particularly need it: users are fine if the UI differs across platforms and developers are OK to develop multiple native apps but PMs are not fine paying 3x or more for the product development.



> developers are OK to develop multiple native apps

They are? I'm not. I was not placed on this earth for tedium.


Right, but then you are not just a developer but also a product designer/manager (in some capacity). 3 (30) developers would happily develop 3 native apps if a company was to pay them.
