> One day someone will build a good Electron app. Visual Studio Code is very good in my opinion. It can be done.

  It's the best electron app possible but it is still a very bad app.

    Why a bad app?

      I think gregman1 means bad from a resource consumption point of view. It takes a lot of memory and CPU compared to similar, non-electron based text editors.

        His lazy comment doesn't need rationalising. VS Code is not 'a very bad app'. If you know of a comparable app that uses fewer resources to a significant degree please let us all know and I'm sure we'll all switch.

          Vim?
          • allover 10y ago
            I did say 'comparable'. Built in debugger is just one example that makes Vim not comparable to VS Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/debugging https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/debugging

    Why's that? VSCode actually looks to me like a native app. It's really fast and behaves properly like any native app would. I guess most people wouldn't notice it's not native.
