The same simplicity though, limits some of the more “advanced” features found in modern editors. Also one of the IDE’s greatest strengths is cross-platform through Java. This is also one of its weaknesses. Java is outdated and it’s time to move on. There’s a slew of other Arduino development environments out there, but most of them are limited to 1 or 2 platforms. Electron is a novel idea because it is based on Node.js, meaning it runs in Google’s Chrome.
