My assumptions whenever I see a program that advertises itself as modern.
1. It will have more dependencies than lines of code. Opening a source file to see how it works will reveal nothing, because there's nothing there.
2. It will have at least one annoying feature that can't be turned off, like autosaving the file every 10ms, which will completely tank performance on a network filesystem or any other storage slightly slower than the developer's top end workstation.
3. It will have at least one hard coded safeguard to save you from yourself, like completely refusing to save files to /tmp, because then you might lose work.
You will run into limitation #3 while trying to workaround problem #2, at which point you will discover development philosophy #1.
