My problem with electron is not that the apps are slow it is that I can (usually) guess if an app is electron by seeing which ones are using up an entire core when the app is just sitting doing nothing
- flohofwoe 5y agoThat's not what I'm seeing with VSCode on macOS though: the highest priority task when sitting "mostly idle" 'Code Helper (Renderer)' at 0.2%, which is at 7th or 8th position (and for instance below an idle iTerm2). I suspect that the applications that use up a core when idle would do this also if Electron is not used (e.g. it's a property of the development team, not of the framework).
- dwighttk 5y agoMaybe, but it seems there’s something about development teams that choose to write native apps that avoid that because I’ve never guessed an app was electron and been wrong using this method.
