Edge is stuff tacked on Chromium. How can it be better?!

True, I myself prefer VS Codium but how many people use it? And some site like Coursera have VSCode on the web and it can't be changed to VSCodium.

I just hope it’s not yet another electron or DOM based editor

Unfortunately, yes.

JS simply does not care.

I am not saying otherwise. But do we still have a say?

Aren't we past that point?

VS Code is Electron based and it can even be deployed in the cloud. We are talking about one of the most popular IDEs.

Interesting take!

What about maintainability of large code bases? JS even with TS tacked isn't so great or at least not as good as Rust.

My bad. I can't find the actually video but there exits a startup that shutdown because Rust/WASM performance wasn't any better on top of that it's was harder to develop with Rust. But as my edit to my previous comment shows things got better for Rust. It's no longer the case.

Isn't installing KDE on it a task?

"It just works" in too vague but this is the correct answer for a lot of scenarios.
