alt Hacker NewsClaude code runs in the terminal, not Chromium. It's hardly an "electron app" at all.
It's a nodejs app, and there is no reason to have a problem with that. Nodejs can wait for inference as fast as any native app can.

Node apps typically have serious software supply chain problems. Their dependency trees are typically unauditable in practice.

Desktop app.
Aren't they talking about the desktop app though?
Also I refuse to download and run Node.js programs due to the security risk. Unfortunately that keeps me away from opencode as well, but thankfully Codex and Vibe are not Node.js, and neither is Zed or Jetbrains products.
