While i agree with your overall point, i think that VS Code is one of the better (only?) examples of really good web technology based software. It's snappy, reliable and has very few bugs.

If you want bad examples of similar software, have a look at Brackets (https://brackets.io/index.html) and Atom (https://atom.io/).

Maybe things have improved in the past years, but last i checked Atom in particular was horrendously slow.
