Compared to BBEdit, Sublime and Notepad++, Code is terribly slow. It behaves nothing like the OSes I try to use it (subtle, but very important).

I believe this to be true, but by how much I am curious? Anyone have benchmarks to point to? Generally curious as I am a web developer who loves the idea being able to finally make desktop apps. Thanks

What does “able to finally make” even mean? Who stopped you in the past? If you want to make desktop apps, learn desktop technologies. Or do you mean “I’m lazy and/or inconfident to learn anything other than JS”?

There are many articles on the subject. For instance: http://josephg.com/blog/electron-is-flash-for-the-desktop/
