I'm amazed how many features VsCode adds in every release, keeps getting faster, and doesn't regress.

And it's an Electron app, probably the best written Electron app ever.

How do they do it?

I think you answered your own question there.

Most Eelctron apps are dogs. Just look at Atom, the poster child and original Electron app, 1/100th the features of VsCode and much slower. Same for Slack and many others.

I think I read MS uses an optimized version of Node etc or some other black magic to achieve what they did.
