in the middle of a very large and complex list of items, or whatģ. adding new objects to a complex file starts getting super slow (somewhere around 4-5000 paths, less if you're generating lots of virtual paths via various effects) - I'm not sure if this is due to running out of physical memory, or trying to insert new items. lots of transparency with the GPU acceleration on - it very quickly becomes an order of magnitude slower than the CPU renderer, especially if you do tricks to generate 3-4 translucent shapes from every path you draw by hand like I do nowadaysĢ. My experience with many years of pushing Illustrator's limits is that the big performance hits are:ġ. That doesn't make it a great fit here, but I'm happy to be surprised. There are some definite value wins in that space. I don't think Chrome, JS, Node or Electron are going anywhere any time soon. Many electron apps just aren't that well written, and not to besmirch any developers working in other toolkits, making good JS code in a larger codebase is a different kind of skill than most are used to, beyond this, the techniques and approaches for performance gains are also fairly different. I know that using it for heavy filters on raster art would be too slow comparatively for many.įrankly, VS Code is probably the only moderately complex application that really shows off Electron. I'm not sure a vector graphics program is a good fit or not, or where the edges in performance may be.
beyond this, even as a big fan of Electron based applications, for a lot of things, it's not a great fit for a many things. I think the downvotes are partly because of your "Cue the downvotes" at the beginning.
