summary (longer than usual): kindaVim's Engines were built to handle as many apps as possible automatically. that included Electron apps.
after almost two years of having kV running on my machines, and about 140+ apps curated for The Wizard, a pattern has emerged: the number of Electron apps working out of the box is 0. literally. not one of them will work if not added to a Family.
hence the obvious consequence: removing automatic detection for Electron apps. now kV's Engines have more room to breathe, and it's faster than ever. before, it could have taken around half a second to enter Normal Mode the first time you used kV on a specific Electron app. no more.
you may also have experienced this delay sometimes on Non Text Elements, like menus. no more either. it's just blazing fast anywhere now. it feels like a dream.
this doesn't change anything to the Electron support. it's the same as before: even when not curated you can add your Electron apps to any Families and kV will pick them up. like Tom Crook would say, this is the best release we've made by far.
