I knew they would use Electron ಠ_ಠ
But I can't blame them, I can imagine the difficulty of maintaining a native Linux application considering that the majority of their users are either on Windows or Mac. Since they released the web client I knew they would come up with this "solution" to offer a new client for Linux users. At least the mobile version is native, otherwise I would be flipping tables. Guess Electron is winning more and more space among millennial developers, so maybe I should give up on hating these web applications disguising themselves as native software altogether.
