![]() ![]() VSCode is based on Electron, which uses Chromium/Blink for Rendering with a modified NodeJS (which itself is based on V8 from Chromium) and was developed by Github. I do not really know what you are talking about. ![]() Works great on WinXP, it's got a few really annoying deficiencies in Win7 and, I haven't even tried it on more recent versions of Windows because more recent versions of Windows (e.g, the Win10 family) are, to me, very, very poor development platforms. Just in case someone is curious about what editor I'm talking about, it's Multi-Edit. In spite of that, more often than not, it's still a better editing engine than anything out there today. The downside of my using that old editor is that it hasn't been updated in over 10 years and, now some of its features don't work in Win 7 (they work fine in WinXP.) That has "dented" its effectiveness as an editing engine. way, WAY, too slow, not to mention cumbersome and, not particularly productive when it comes to editing text. Today's editors are very pretty and they offer a lot of razzle-dazzle but, as far as really effective editing engines they are rather deficient. The reason I am still using the editor I've used since the times of MS-DOS is because it's genuinely fast (in addition to intuitive, powerful and requiring very few keystrokes to get something done) - there simply is no comparison with any of the current "modern" editors.įor instance, I just paged-up through a file that is 24,000+ lines long in slightly less than 7 seconds (and, yes, the editor did syntax highlighting correctly while paging backwards).
