This is super interesting data! Thanks for compiling it.

I don't see VSCode being overtaken anytime in the near future. The only real improvement that can be made as far as I am concerned is to move off of Electron.

Many people complain about Electron being slow and a RAM eater framework, but VS Code is pretty fast, not like sublime, but still much faster than Atom. Why do you think they should move off of Electron and what would be a good alternative to it?
