Or maybe you're just fine with throwing away thousands of dollars at it every few years, so you're not seeing the problem. The "solution" that most of the world simply cannot afford.

If I could roll my eyes any harder, they’d be spinning.

99.9% of people who complain about electron apps are not ardent defenders of third world computing. It just violates their sensibilities.

I am not one of those "99.9%" (seems like a random number pulled out of someone's ass). Most developers in my poor country don't make much and would quality as lower-middle class in yours. Including a good friend of mine, who is learning web development on a 10-year old laptop — he can't afford anything else. I know he struggles with VSC because I hear about it daily.

[whynotminot]

I feel for your friend, and I hope he gets some better hardware solutions soon.

But I think it’s unfair to hold developer tools back to 10 year old specifications.

Of cut it off with most of the world bullshit, we’re talking about development tool here, not solving world hunger.

There are no developers outside Silicon Valley, got it.

[wiseowise]

Right, because world is divided in Silicon Valley and third world hellholes.
