> Electron does not, in fact, work great.

People get so outrageously bent out of shape over the details here. But it's 100% just geek nattering. People who need to develop and ship general use UI code that isn't a game or an iOS app write to the web stack, every time, for very good reasons. And these solutions win every market they're in.

Basically: show me someone displacing VSCode (or any other large established Electron app) or GTFO. Won't happen. The reverse happens all the time, though. How's Eclipse doing these days?

I abandoned VSCode for zed, because I was tired of the slow performance of VSCode and how much memory it consumes.
