The fact that if there’s a bug in the chrome codebase it affects so many apps. For two years this has been the bane of my existence: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9413.

When I switched from dual 1440p monitors to dual 4K monitors, all the sudden chrome and every electron app started to just randomly not draw parts of itself. Fixed in chrome ages ago, but electron still hasn’t taken the patch. For awhile if you didn’t have windows scaled up to 4K it was mostly fine, now it does it all the time for me. Spotify, VS Code, etc. are all unusable unless you disable GPU acceleration which makes them run very slow and hog your CPU. And then the memory consumption! VS Code eats more ram than visual studio proper. What’s up with that?
