VS Code might be a nice editor and relatively efficient Electron application resources wise, but it is definitely not native.
You can't even CMD + CTRL + D words to look up their definition, which is such a basic expectation of any native text input area in any real Mac app.
This doesn't excuse Apple, but it's hardly a good example to the contrary of what is terrible about Electron. Maybe for an IDE it matters less since almost all of them have terrible interfaces and the advantages of being able to write extensions for anywhere being more relevant than most apps, but Electron apps like Slack are still hot garbage compared to a native app for any platform.
