You can do it, but it's significantly harder. And with Electron, you can leverage the same skills that are used to build web applications to modify your environment and text editor as well. Those are very significant advantages.
Note: I don't use VS Code or any other JS editor, I use emacs. But I can definitely appreciate the major benefits of the architecture.

- dekhn 10y agoI build both web apps and Qt apps. TBH, doing something in Qt is about 1/10 to 1/100 the effort of doing it on the web. The web is a morass of confusing standards, none of which work well together. To get guaranteed, predictable behavior which is documented, and will continue to work properly for 10 years after deployment (with only minor maintainence), you simply cannot use the web.
