eh, I disagree. It gives you the tools to suck, but VSCode proves pretty effectively that it doesn't have to (and there are significant extensibility advantages to VSCode using TypeScript as their main language).
The root problem is that most people using Electron don't know how it actually works
you will not make me React to this, it is outside of my purVue
...i don't have one for Svelte and honestly the name is pretty funny given where it's gone
Like, I use a Macintosh exclusively, and I choose to do so because I like using a Macintosh, and a big part of that is the affordances the platform offers, and the only argument for Electron garbage is that it runs on a different (and much worse) platform. No! No thanks! I'll do without!
Even though it's possible to make something that's reasonably efficient, most developers are not billion dollar companies and will instead just push the resource hog out the door when it can stand on its own. Most people don't have the time, resources or competency to pull a VSC off.
the thing people dont understand about multiplatform computing is that, in spite of its nigh-universal proliferation in the home market, windows is still the odd duck out in terms of how it's structured
like, everything else is either a UNIX clone, a UNIX descendant, or is designed to be compatible with UNIX-esque systems, but windows has absolutely no UNIX blood in it and has actively refused to implement better support for other systems.
The reason why the hosts file in Windows is located in a weird place and called "hosts" is a UNIX compatibility compromise. It also accepts forward slash as a directory separator. Windows NT was POSIX compatible at one point as well.
