Since Microsoft owns Github, and since Github leads the development of Electron, and since Microsoft leads the development of one of the most important Electron

Since Microsoft owns Github, and since Github leads the development of Electron, and since Microsoft leads the development of one of the most important Electron apps (VS Code), does Microsoft have any plans for increasing the sharing of code and developers between Edge Chromium and Electron?
Alternatively, do they have any plans for eliminating VS Code's dependency on Electron?
- danlugo92 7y agoWhy don't we have shared electron runtimes? 1) Bundle electron release with app (bandwidth is cheap) 2) Find if that specific release is installed to your user directory. 3) If not copy 4) If yes, use it and don't copy it over. 5) Enforce semver for this of course.

- fbelzile 7y agoI would love it if Microsoft integrated parts of Electron (or at least Chromium Edge) as the new WebBrowser component (or alternative Electron component) in .NET. This would be such a major game changer for me as someone making apps using the built in WebBrowser component. It would also help reduce the footprint of Electron apps as third-party developers wouldn't have to re-distribute libraries and Windows would be able to manage resources between the different Electron apps more efficiently.
