		Semaphor on Sept 29, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Closing a 30 pixel gap between native and web Not really, I’d say VS Code is the only electron app that can stand up to native apps. It’s not the best, but it’s pretty good. Now, for electron, it’s certainly not a compliment. From electron apps I’ve used, only VS Code is great, Discord is good, and everything else is just really, really bad. It’s apparently extremely hard to use electron and have something close to decent performance.

Right, sorry, I meant back-handed for Electron. I have used VS Code a bit for a class, but am usually an Emacs user.

Hah, nah. Electron gets no compliment at all, backhanded or otherwise. When almost no one can create an app on it that doesn't suck, there are deep issues.
