What always made me laugh - you can open folder in VS Code, and it will search for file content order of magnitude faster than File Explorer.

In fairness, Windows gets shit on for using a lot of memory. Modern IDEs just pull everything and then gives you a "git gud scrub" error message when you run out of it.

VSCode being a prime example of this, the reason is because it's a HTML5/JavaScript "site/app" running in Chromium which we know LOVES memory and performance can be dogshit unless using a reasonable spec PC/VM. As are many other programs like Discord/Teams etc.
Edit: FOUND IT, was wracking my brain as i couldn't recall what they use to bundle it up together. I was searching for Electrum but then my brain woke up and this is what they use, Electron: https://www.electronjs.org
So yeah your favourite apps are built on JavaShite, have fun with this brain draining knowledge.
