One of the greatest things about vscode is how it has continued to improve. Electron is probably one of biggest reason that has been even possible.

However, lots of vscode features have stabilized enough that it'd be good idea to create a native version.

I'm proposing to create non-electron highly performant native version of vscode which gets new release once a year.
Basically sync stabilized features from electron version into native annually.

Only reason would be extreme performance. As vscode more and more becomes IDE like, performance struggles are starting to show up...

  • right clicks seem to take longer
  • autocomplete seems to lag
  • input latency seems to be noticeable
  • color encoding / parsing takes a moment
  • jumping to reference isn't fast
  • startup time is noticeable
  • etc

Don't take me wrong it's by far one of the most performant code editors i've used.

But lot of the things mentioned seem to add up. I personally notice this most when I go from coding on laptop to desktop.

I'd love to know if there are plans, and if yes, i'd love to cast a vote in favor or contribute somehow.
