By the time you build your solution in native DOM, you've missed the market.

This is why we don't write applications in assembler.

If performance is your only metric, write Rust and target WASM. But that's probably not the right solution for 95% of cases.

VS Code must have been lucky then.

VS Code requires more careful engineering than a CRUD web app. It also has a lot more dedicated talent with eyes on the problem.

These technologies aren’t limited to CRUD apps.

I built a Windows like GUI, including basic file system display and population, using native DOM for the front end of a node app. It took me, one person, two weeks. It includes state management.

If you think that’s the same as writing assembly you probably aren’t the right guy to drive the success of a startup.

Since when did giving honest opinions about speed and practicality merit personal insults?

It’s not an insult. If you took that as an insult you probably aren’t as open to honesty as you imagine.

I'm probably not a lot of the things you call me. :)
