Tbf vscode has opensource contributors and they had the code for atom text editor (by developers of electron) to look as reference code.

Microsoft also make the one app that actually shines in electron: vs code. It’s really quite optimised. But somehow they didn’t bother learning lessons from that and keep rolling out terrible slop like teams and new outlook.
It’s weird how one company can do things right and also be do incompetent at the same time.

Atom was indeed very good. There are still forks out there.

I can’t stand VScode, whoever decided a text editor should be written in HTML/CSS and JavaScript deserves to be shot

The way MS is structured internally, this is like being surprised that some NFL teams win the Super Bowl and some teams are the Cleveland Browns.

Isn’t VS Code open-sourced? Can those optimizations be contributed to the wider community of electron experts?
I guess my point is VS Code works well because the users can fix it and they have the ability to do so. The same cant be said for Teams & Outlook. No one can fix that PoS.

And code is stolen from atom. But yes.

It’s missing the arm that has the gun pointed at themselves.

I just realized I’ve been staring at this picture for over a minute, trying to figure out what it means. What does this picture mean?

Even thought Microsoft is one company, all the internal teams are separate, don’t communicate and usually do what they want with no regard to anything else the other teams are doing. Been an issue with Microslop for years, and its especially noticeable in their office/email divisions.

Ahh. That seems suboptimal and makes the picture make a lot more sense, thanks.

Part of a old joke about various big tech org charts. Microsoft divisions are purported to be in not only fighting with each other but also within themselves.
