The number one reason why I personally prefer native apps (at least os macOS) is the fact that they consume way less battery than Electron-based ones.

- bluejekyll 10y agoIf NeXT was written after the browser (rather than being used to write the first browser), I believe the OS windowing toolkit would have been HTML and CSS based, rather than postscript based. If you consider macOS' use of postscript rendering as roughly equivalent to that of what a browser does with rendering the DOM, then I think we start to see what Electron represents. I personally haven't developed with Electron, but I'm hoping that there are ways to hook to native code where needed, just like Apple does from Postscript to Swift/ObjC/C.
