An internet points out that Hackernews' favorite text editor takes up more CPU than the average Hackernews would have had at their disposal 20 years ago just to make the cursor blink on and off. Hackernews circles the wagons to justify the stupid engineering design decisions behind said editor based solely on the fact that embedding a complete Web browser just to draw buttons and text fields "won" over any sensible GUI implementation, and they can't live without the crutches VSCode provides when shitting out Go microservices.
Many of these same people will argue vehemently that X11, the shitty GUI layer for Linux that ran perfectly fine 20 years ago, is "slow" and "bloated" and needs to be replaced with Wayland, a new, completely different, shitty GUI layer.
