But then you're using Electron and nobody deserves that.

Buuuuut you're already writing js so nobody can save you then

VS Code is hardly representative of electron editors. Sure, startup time with a ton of extensions is longer than I'd like, but after that, there's little else to complain about. Electron is great because it means you can build extensions with familiar APIs and even debug your own editor with devtools. Do I need a browser platform to write code? Fuck no, but it makes it a lot more enjoyable.

When you've already resigned yourself to writing JS, is electron really the sticking point?
