- deca6cda37d0 8y agoand here comes the discussion about why electron is bad :P
- neospice 8y agoIn a world where VSCode runs on electron is there even room for this discussion anymore?
- sirjaz 8y agoVSCode is highly optimized and has tons of engineers behind it. If it were me I would do .Net Core and Avalon UI: http://avaloniaui.net/ http://avaloniaui.net/
- rygxqpbsngav 8y agoLooks like Avalon is in beta. Are there any stable alternatives that are production ready?
- nickjj 8y ago> In a world where VSCode runs on electron is there even room for this discussion anymore? Opening a 1.5mb markdown file with VSCode idles an i5 3.2ghz quad core at 50%+ CPU and uses 800mb of RAM with only a few extensions loaded. Also the input latency while typing in an empty file with no extensions is substantially higher than apps using other UI frameworks. I think there's plenty of room for discussion, especially considering that VSCode is over the top optimized compared to most other Electron apps (which are WAY WAY worse than VSCode).

- a_wild_dandan 8y agoYup, target Windows, macOS, and Linux all with one codebase (and be within epsilon of targeting mobile with Cordova). All with JS. Or preferably TypeScript.
- johnmax 8y agoWill definitely need to check this out. I come from the mobile world, and my experience is, from myself and others, that cross-platform solutions always brought more pain than joy. The latter solutions were great in theory, but created huge problems, when a little bit of a custom behaviour had to be implemented, maybe dependent on the target platform. Also, when developing natively, there seems to be much more usable open-source code.
