VS Code's interface is a garbage Metro (or whatever Microsoft is calling it today) implementation with sidebar hell from Office.

>Who cares about 200MB in that regard? Who cares about anything? Just use everything you have. CPU, RAM, battery life and so on. These things are free for the developer.

Is VS Code actually seven times better and/or complex compared to Sublime Text that it actually needs to use the additional disk space.

Electron is garbage and just an exercise in providing a bad user experience to people for the sake of making front-end developers happy since they're the ones making them. The end result is bloated applications that are slow and use way too much system resources. VS Code used to use a significant portion (>10%) of the CPU just to draw a blinking cursor.

Electron is the reason you're getting these kind of desktop applications built in the first place, it's opened up an entire portal of developers to catering to your needs.

It may not be the ultimate solution to the problem with regards to things such as performance, but these are irrelevant if the application were to never be built in the alternative.

Cheers to that. Maybe now with Electron the developers at 1Password will give us a Linux port........

All vague overly general misrepresentations of the very specific points I made. I think the other "DAE Electron is bad?" comments can suffice without you adding.
