It just doesn't go in my head that we are building text editors inside a web browser! I get it, there are many good use cases for Electron and it's easy to get started with cross platform support, but why is everybody going crazy about text editors in them? Because you can write plugins in JS?
Wouldn't it be better to make native application, especially for code editors, where developers spend most of their time, where every noticeable lag and glitches are not appreciated.
Edit: Many people here think that I am attacking this web based kind of technology, which I am not, and sorry for not being clear enough, but why chose something so high up the stack for dev tool?
