I can’t wait never to touch VSTO again.
Obviously this is a super niche thing, and you could make the argument that there are more efficient ways to edit text than this. My main point is that I never have this issue with native apps, only Electron-based ones, so it seems likely to me that there is some performance issue with this sort of input to Electron.
Other editors run just fine in my Linux VMs- Sublime Text has no problem at all.
That said, it's clearly possible to build a nice editor purely on the CPU, so it's a shame that VS Code can't run well in the same environment. Sublime Text handles dozens of tabs and windows under emulation.
By atrocious performance, I mean even such things as the application significantly lagging behind my typing speed.
At any rate, I’ve often wondered when the endless pile of layers and abstractions has to topple.
Getting WebRTC means Teams can replace Skype for Buisness
Lol.
Nevertheless, I hope they go all-in because a gimped JS Office would finally let other players to innovate in the word- & spreadsheet processor niche without the MS .
Fingers crossed brother, finger crossed!
