Hmm, I don't know about this. VS Code is an Electron app and I'm not sure if it would benefit that much from being a "real" Mac app. I much prefer that is it consistent across platforms. I do prefer Terminal.app to Hyper though.

I wouldn't mind if Slack had a native app but I'm not too bothered by it.

The VS code team has spent an inordinate amount of time optimizing their Electron usage to achieve some semblance of performance. VS Code is nice but it is still slower than Sublime, let alone Notepad++, Textmate, or Pluma/GTKedit
