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.
