What VSCode uses is a super cut down and highly optimised version of electron, designed specifically to run a code editor. It's still not as good as real native code, but a lot of people are willing to put up with it because the plugins available for VSCode are pretty good.

People put up with it because, really, most people don't care if the technology is a little wacky as long as the features are good.
