    Devs, are you ever planning on moving away / updating / fixing CEF?
    I'm not sure if the move to Vue is part of improving the terrible performance of CEF (if such a thing is even possible), or just (very understandably) improving the developer experience by moving away from Angular.
    CEF is pretty lame, so it'd be nice if Beam eventually stopped using it for something slicker and faster.

    I'd imagine it would take a hell of a lot of work to fully get rid of it, and then decide on a suitable replacement.

    Chromium Embedded Framework. It's what drives the UI elements for most of BeamNG. Think of it as basically chrome, and the UI elements are webpages. It's slow.
