There is literally nothing wrong with VS Code

>Also all you web devs: Go learn C or Rust or something. Your program runs on a computer. Until you know how that computer works, you're doomed. And until then get off my lawn shakes fist.

C. A. R. Hoare about PL/I, but perfectly applicable to Electron as well:
At first I hoped that such a technically unsound project would collapse but I soon realized it was doomed to success. Almost anything in software can be implemented, sold, and even used given enough determination. There is nothing a mere scientist can say that will stand against the flood of a hundred million dollars. But there is one quality that cannot be purchased in this way — and that is reliability. The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

>Developers don't let friends write electron apps. If you want to use JS and react to make a native app, try react native instead. Its like electron, but you don't need to distribute a copy of chrome to all your users, and we don't need to run another copy of chrome to use your app. It turns out modern operating systems already have nice, fast UI libraries. So use them you clod!

Probably never, because there will always be more Javascript fag developers meme millenials dab

>And I bet the slack team doesn't know either. How many lines of code do you think the slack team wrote to make their client work? I'd guess around 50k. Maybe 100k. But slack isn't a native app.
>At least - not a normal native app. Its built on top of electron, so when you download slack you're actually downloading a complete copy of Google Chrome. Chrome, at the time of writing is 15 million non-comment lines. When you download slack, 99% of the code is 'below the water'.

is that some kind of shitty video? do I want to watch it?
