Yeh and don't look now but... its also becoming a bloated mess. Notepad++ is a native application and it blows vscode out of the water for speed. Though obviously it does not have ide-esque features of vscode. Furthermore, there is no paid version of VS Code, and if there were, and it ran like dogs ass, I would say the same thing. They need to put on their big boy pants and make a big boy native application.
- chii 8y ago> They need to put on their big boy pants and make a big boy native application. for VScode, there's Visual Studio. And VScode isn't slow by any stretch. It does take a bit of memory (as expected of an electron app). But it's well engineered, and has very little slow laggy UI parts.
- bdcravens 8y agoTo be fair, I'm sure if they added WebRTC to VScode it'd be slow too. (Plus whatever Slack is doing to receive notifications and messages in real time - not sure if that's also WebRTC or something like Web Sockets) Edit: thought Skype wasn't in Electron, obviously I'm wrong: https://electronjs.org/apps/skype https://electronjs.org/apps/skype
