If your tea-timer only runs on windows 10 with .Net 4.6 installed, that's a bit rubbish isn't it? Maybe it only took you 2 days to build, but you can't re-use any of that code when you port it to another platforms; ok, so you rewrite it in 2 days for mac. Sure. Maintenance is a bit of a pain but its no big deal. ...but what if it was an app that took 6 months to build, not 2 days? You're screwed on the delivery and on the maintenance. I think the point is that there are many examples of electron based applications like slack that have been hugely successful. Sure, there are other options you could use instead, and it is bloated, and slow, etc. etc.; but there's no denying that its a successful platform, like it or not.
