> VSCode the most popular IDE in the entire world is JS running w/ Electron

Node.js is fine on the server and JS is my preferred language. That said I switched from VSCode to vim a few years back because my laptop couldn't handle all the Electron apps I had running. Now the only browser instance I run is the actual browser and I'll never go back to Electron apps.

Similar story here. After using VSCode as my daily driver for 2 months (during which I never once touched Emacs) I switched back to Emacs because VSCode's responses to my keystrokes felt mushier and because I like to use dinky little mini PCs with no fans (because I'm much more easily annoyed by fan noises than most people and I prefer not to become bound to using Macs).
