But there isn't, not if you include all the extensions and remember the price

So an Electron app won. Seems like Electron wasn't a hinderance.

  • Sure, you can ignore that it was a hindrance just like you ignored ignored the previous point.

    • Like how you ignored my point too?

      If it was a hindrance, why did it win?

      Seems clear to me that Electron's higher RAM usage did not affect adoption. Instead, Electron's ability to write once and ship in any platform is what allowed VSCode to win.
