I think VS Code is the gold standard for Electron.
Slack, not so much. On my work laptop, it uses 800mb over 5 processes, and is easily 5x slower to paste a screenshot into than Teams.
- thejohnconway 7y agoI wish VS Code wasn’t Electron. It’s noticeably laggier that native editors, and its performance under load is a lot worse.
- pknopf 7y agoThe question is, could any of the native editors keep the pace of new features/improvements?
- TeMPOraL 7y agoSure, why not? It's not like most of the features are strongly tied to VS Code being a browser app. Implemented against a different platform they'd probably look different. Maybe a bit less shiny, but likely a bit more performant.
- pknopf 7y ago> Sure, why not? I was being facetious. I'm not a fan of electron either, but when it comes to just HTML/CSS/JS, nothing beats it in developer productivity. The business logic is (of course) a sep discussion. By the way, I have professional experience in HTML/JS/CSS/WPF/WinForms/Qt/Android/UIKit.
- jjeaff 7y agoI can detect no lag in my vscode. I do have a very powerful desktop.
