Why would they copy VSCode including the aspect people hate most.
Had they made it in a native gui I might actually consider it. Otherwise, why wouldn't I just choose vscode.
Ease of plugin development is a major boon
Well it can't really be a native gui and be cross platform.
I meant native as in non-web. There are plenty of cross-platform GUI toolkits out there that don't use JavaScript. Some of them native-looking even. But more than the looks, it's about performance.
There aren't many good cross platform GUI toolkits. I mean realistically is there anything other than Qt?
