VSCode really stands out to me among Electron apps, which is why I would be really interested in a write up about what they are doing to get it so performant (I think Rust is a part of the answer). Of course you can write terribly performing code on all platforms, but certainly some make it easier and/or have their own performance requirements.

Part of it I think is the super text heavy use case. Unlike slack for isntance that'll have N 30MB gifs (probably multiple copies of each too) in memory at any given point.
