> People hate on electron, but it's a pretty amazing piece of tech if you ask me.

It really does come down to how people build on top of it.

I tried opening a 2gb log file in Atom and it took like 10 minutes before crashing.

VSCode on the other hand, while a bit slow, opened it and I could search quickly and scroll it without any issue at all.

That was what caused me to switch.
