an electron implementation would sorta kill the point of npp :)

Absolutely, the startup speed of npp is addictive. If only VS Code could be half as fast.

that's the main reason I stuck with sublimetext for soooo long. It's so fast and it can handle insanely huge files plus it can do column operations on text on insanely huge files. VS Code does seem to have been optimized since the first few years though and its not hardware related.
