Where do you draw the line here? Do you also refuse to use applications that use a GUI toolkit library?

- pjmlp 11y agoA full browser is not just GUI toolkit library. I draw the line in everything that uses a webview for purposes unrelated to rendering HTML.
- oneeyedpigeon 11y agoI know a full browser isn't the same as a GUI toolkit, I'm trying to understand why you're drawing a line that you're OK with some software that uses some libraries, but you're not OK with software that uses others. Not sure exactly what you mean by "a webview" (is this a specific library you're referring to?) but, as far as I know, software like atom does use a renderer to display HTML - that's the whole point.
- pjmlp 11y agoAtom is just a browser in a different package. This is where I draw the line, I only use web apps when no native options are available.
