I thought VS Code was built on top of Electron (which is just a shell)?

"Visual Studio Code (I call it VSCode, myself) is a new free developer
tool. It's a code editor, but a very smart one. It's cross-platform, built
with TypeScript and Electron, and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux."

With the editor layer above that called Monaco (

).

And then you have OmniSharp <http://www.omnisharp.net/> as the C#
intellisense provider (
