Thanks. First thing I look for when looking at new editors.
Electron leads to high latency and slowdown once your editor grows big enough- even on 8+ core machines. We have so many electron based editors at this point, including incumbent VSCode....
- capableweb 4y ago> Electron leads to high latency and slowdown once your editor grows big enough Any large application who extends the number of features forever leads to high latency and slowdowns, unless you structure things as extensions/plugins and load them ondemand/allow users to disable/enable them. It has nothing to do with Electron, same thing would happen with a application written in C/Rust. Might happen faster with JavaScript, as JS developers tend to have less focus on performance, but it is less about Electron vs the World and more about who the developer(s) is.
