How is it that Microsoft's Electron apps are so snappy and performant? You would never know Visual Studio Code was Electron by how it performs. I'm not a user of their cloud apps, but are they similarly snappy, or is it just that Microsoft's Dev Tools team is way out in front?
- manigandham 6y agoPerformance is a priority for VSC. Same with Azure's console. Same with sites like Stackoverflow. It's not a priority with many of Google's current apps.
