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.
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.
