It had (had!) a multi-line code block option. Now it still does, but only in the desktop app, not in the browser.

I'm sure they need some native platform APIs to enable entering multi-line code blocks.

I'd say VSCode is one of the best optimized/built Electron apps out there. The team cares a lot about performance and weird edge cases.

I vastly prefer using Vscode if I need some IDE-esque features over something like IntelliJ these days, even if the latter is more "powerful" in terms of features.
