We're taking about a trillion dollar company who can afford all of the talent and has very limited time pressure. I would prefer they do it correctly.

This misses the point. A trillion dollars goes a lot further when the software is cheaper.

But VSCode isn't cheaper. They had to pour millions of dollars and countless man hours into it. And none of those translated into any meaningful improvements of the platform.

It isn't cheap wrt hardware requirements either. My 2.5 year old work laptop becomes unbelievably sluggish if I have to keep multiple Electron apps open.
