I wonder if Electron will evolve to permit different engines? blink, Edge?, servo? Whilst this offers options, my concern would be over complicating Electron with a plethora of abstractions some of which maybe leaky as engines innovate and diverge.


Wouldn't Microsoft have interest in doing that, though, for Visual Studio Code?


Perhaps. Or perhaps they're satisfied that the Chromium engine is sufficient. As I understand it the goal of Visual Studio Code is to be cross platform and bring .NET to a wider audience. The engine is immaterial? WE shall see though. Perhaps Full Fat Windows only Visual Studio will borrow from Visual Studio Code and require a different engine, to play nice with Direct X, or other Windows proprietary tech?
