But apps written using Electron don't seem to be suffering for it. Examples: VS Code, Teams (both from Microsoft). What does that tell you?
- pseudalopex 6y agoHow many people use Teams by choice? Why is VS Code so much more popular than Atom?
- qwerty456127 6y agoPerhaps that means somebody at Microsoft has found a way to optimize the Electron runtime for VS Code. The VS Code fronted mostly is about displaying text - obviously there is a huge lot of inefficiencies you can optimize by excluding whole blocks of logic unnecessary for this kind of tasks.
