- coldacid 8y agoI'd love that too, but it won't happen.
- arenaninja 8y agoWell in that case I hope MS gets a second wind like it does for VSCode. I use IntelliJ daily since I use a lot of the bells and whistles, but VSCode is great and also runs on Electron. It seems that there's a lot of things MS is doing right with the tool that Slack can't or won't. Maybe WASM to Electron is in the horizon? :)
- coldacid 8y agoMicrosoft is the only company I've seen that can actually get any performance out of Electron, and even then it's still a resource hog. In their favour, though, VSCode is written exclusively for Electron, unlike many of these apps which are essentially SPAs lightly reworked for a non-browser.
