In Defense of Electron

It's not bait though. Sperglords conserving their 512MB of RAM won't be target of any commercial, multi-platform project and this is what things like electron are useful for. Also, using one technology stack for web and client apps instead of learning dozens of shitty GUI frameworks is extremely comfy. I sincerely hate front-end and the lesser amount of time I have to waste on this shit, the better.

How many commercial multi-platform apps currently use electron?
Dominic Morris
VS Code
Atom
Slack
Discord
Skype (new client)
I haven't yet heard anything bad about VS Code, but the other ones are slow CPU demanding, memory hogging pieces of shit, prime examples of , directly due to their use of electron. Pics related.

Spot the electron shill.

89iq-tier question. It's not like companies release lists of software they develop and use internally and lists of technologies they used in each case.
Classical case of confirmation bias tbh. You bunch together some random software using one GUI technology and then blame all problems with said software on this technology. Cuz software that uses some shitty GUI technology of your choice is flawless. Also

I don't really care about Electron but it really hurt to read those tweets. Are people really this dumb now?

They need all that memory for bugs, emojis and various retarded anti-features.

No, its the wrong timeline in which Lisp Machines and Xerox Parc lost.
