You might want to tweak the wording a bit - it reads like you're comparing Monaco to Electron, as if it were another app framework based on Chromium.

Since both VS Code and Atom use Electron as a base, so if the basic premise of using JavaScript + the DOM to render a code editor / IDE were flawed (i.e. it could never be performant), then both systems would be having issues.

This is what I was trying to state. If performance issues were fundamentally tied to the use of Electron, then you would see that manifest itself in both packages.
