I don't know, for example for me VSCode feels 1000x faster than Photoshop, which is a native app. Photoshop takes a long time to open, breaks the "Windows" keyboard shorcut, is basically slow in general. VSCode has a fast start-up time and everything in it feels responsive. I see a lot of comments from Apple users, maybe Electron works better on Windows than on Mac for some reason?
- sk0g 6y agoPhotoshop has miles more functionality, and typically deals with much bigger data. VS Code is also not an outlier for Electron apps, as most of them are a lot jankier, IMO.
- sk0g 6y agoMeant to say VS Code _is_ an outlier, sorry
- saagarjha 6y agoThe reason you see a lot of comments from Apple users is because the system has had a consistent paradigm for desktop applications, designed by the party making the operating system, for years, which means that they have come to rely on and become used to such software. The fact that Electron breaks all of those expectations and is a horrendous resource hog to boot is an unwelcome development if you've been used to high-quality native applications for all this time.
- testbot123 6y agoExcept Apple's design system has taken a backseat in the post-Jobs iPhone cash grab era, and becomes less and less consistent with every release. And we're saying that people who use Catalina are expecting a gold-standard, performant experience? Do we use the same Catalina? Because it represents a major regression in the macOS line. Maybe we're long overdue for a paradigm shift.
