People hate on Electron apps, but it sure enables some cool stuff. I can't imagine another sustainable way to build a fully-fledged IDE that runs as a desktop application that people love, _and_ can be run on a remote server instance, rendered and interacted with in the browser. Amazing.
- vb6sp6 6y agoVSCode is a decent app, but I no longer consider it an electron app. It uses tons of c++ and you'd have to have the cash to buy the electron team (like ms did) to get anywhere close to what they have done.
- abhinavk 6y agoCare to elaborate about the tons of C++ part? In their GitHub repo, I can hardly see any C++ files.
