> VSCode always looks and feels like a webapp that runs locally. It really doesn't. It's snappy, and the only thing that feels out of place is the different keyboard shortcuts on macOS and windows/linux, but that's what you get by integrating with your platform. > Give me menus, give me toolbars, give me rich visualisation. I don't care about excuses for not being to take advantage of the hardware, or about how fast it is for a webapp. I want a native executable. Vscode gives you menus, and I don't see any technical limitation for vscode to provide native toolbars, except that usability-wise they are awful and a step-back from vscode's use of its spotlight-like command line interface. And hey, truthfully all of these issues are nit-picking, and meanwhile kate was not used as an example of anything worth having. That says a lot.
