"better environment" - worse is better. Its explained in the comment above you about entrenched interests. Whether js and html are worse in the browser is one thing but I think you could argue strongly that they are worse on the desktop. As a user, the experience for me is pretty bad.

Is electron really worse though? I use VS and VSC professionally and VSC is the best ide I’ve ever used.
VS is great too, but it’s performance is really, really, terrible when your documents and settings directory is on one network drive and your codebase is on another. Not exactly VS’s fault, but it’s an ide for enterprise that can’t function with the most basic enterprise drive setup?
VSC, the electron app on the other hand doesn’t give two shits.
People usually tell me VSC is the one off unicorn. But isn’t discord better than team speak and ventrilo? Isn’t slack excellent?
I don’t think sunk cost is a negative when people are building better tools with it.
