  > All of the code is OOP-based, and they mount DOM nodes the old-school way (which is what React was supposed to solve..)

  I don't know about VS Code, but I remember Atom was refactored to use manual DOM updates because the performance penalty of using React wasn't worth it.[1] By the way, isn't OOP by far the most popular paradigm for building desktop UIs? I imagine VS Code is a difficult codebase to work with that has a lot of intricate code (as is usually the case with large software projects), but that's a strange piece of criticism :-)

• Is downloading vs code okay in this case ?

  For JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, Visual Studio Code is the best solution because it already runs on the Electron framework. So, try VSCode. Don't worry; your device won't be harmed. If its performance was unbearable, you can always put it aside. You can also try Atom. It is outdated, but it could be answer to your need.

• Ask HN: Design of Emacs type extensible editor based on electron?

  I'm surprised that nobody here mentioned Atom [1]. IIUC, Atom was designed to be hackable like Emacs.

  A successor to Atom is Pulsar [2].

• Code Editor from scratch ?
  1 project | /r/learnjavascript | 9 Feb 2023

  Hey everyone, I'm developing an open source text editor called Valence. I'm just getting started with its development and the next and main thing I need to implement is the editor itself. Now I know there are many different code editors like CodeMirror, Ace.js and Monaco but I want to start from scratch and build something like Atom had done. Currently I created a contenteditable div and also added a custom cursor. BTW I'm using React, TailwindCSS and TypeScript. Here is the component

• I've been using Atom to edit code, and then this popped up today. Anybody know the story behind this? (using a Macbook with BigSure OS installed)

  These versions of Atom will stop working on February 2 [2023]. To keep using Atom, users will need to download a previous Atom version.
