Yes. I use VS Code and it works really well for me. The fact that it’s an Electron app is of no concern to me.
RStudio is also web-based tech — which enables it to run in a browser when remotely hosted.
And these are some of the most widely used IDEs out there (IDEs are also a class of desktop apps that have an above average UI complexity). I don’t think a majority of users are “less keen” just because they’re web based tech.
Maybe the only nitpick I would have is the odd web debug menu that would pop up on occasion when one right clicks on certain UI widgets.
