Are they actually writing a native application? Or still using a shitty electron app.

They moved from Electron to Microsoft’s Edge WebView2 technology. The big performance gains came from finishing their migration from Angular to React (only needing to load / manage one primary framework), and refactoring that old code with an eye towards performance as they went. Still not native unfortunately.

Yeah, they're rewriting the front-end in MFC, it's going to look so good

VSCode uses electron. Nothing wrong with it if you actually know what you're doing.
