Isn't vscode written in electron?

[–] JackBruhhh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Electron is fine if it's optimised which generally doesn't happen.

@JackBruhhh @rei

#electron does consume quite a bit more ram than it should.

Either way, I don't really have much of a problem with it.

It does but in exchange devs can make cross-platform applications. I don't mind using Electron apps unless they're horribly optimized like Teams used to be some years ago.

Teams is still horribly optimized and barely works though. I love having to restart my computer in order to be able to sign in.

Protip: It's much faster and more stable when just opened as a webpage in Firefox

I wish. Teams literally says Firefox is not supported and doesn't allow me to make calls, even though I'm able to join meetings. Teams is a joke.

I also used to have that message but it seems like they've got that back in order.

I remember that back then you could download an extension to pretend your user agent was Chrome and Teams would work flawlessly.
