The Diagnostic Tools window is implemented as a web view, probably since its introduction in… VS2017?. I’m not aware of any other GUI parts implemented using web technologies.

Node.js processes are invisible backend stuff.

This is what I was thinking of. Kind of a telling statement of Microsoft’s perception of WPF when they turn to WebView2 to render newer parts of the UI in their WPF app (which was never ported to WinRT, UWP, or WinUI). They didn’t even use XAML islands for the newer parts, they just jumped straight to web.
