You realize that maybe for someone, C++/QT isn't a new technology but HTML/CSS/JS are? Or neither are new, or both are new? The person who replied to you was right, you are making the assumption that everyone knows the web stack and knows nothing else.
Electron tries to break the same barrier WebForms did but in the opposite direction. Hopefully it turns out better and doesn't result in a bunch of shitty desktop apps like WebForms resulted in a bunch of shitty web sites.

- kedean 10y agoIn all fairness, that's still a lowered barrier. The barrier is the sum of all parts, if desktop gui dev is easy for systems programmers and really hard for web devs, and this project makes it easy for web devs, then it has objectively lowered the barrier for entry. It doesn't matter if it's still just as hard for systems programmers.
