Let's confront "worse is better" directly: more-popular software is not the same as better software. The Web is a race to the bottom in the quest for eyeballs.

Let's confront "worse is better" directly: more-popular software is not the same as better software.
The Web is a race to the bottom in the quest for eyeballs. If eyeballs aren't what you desire, you can give the set of users you do have a much better experience: smoother interactions, better adaptation to system preferences, automated security and functionality updates to components via the OS distribution, better accessibility, etc.
- johnfn 10y agoI would make a counter-argument that software that gets used is indeed better than software that does not get used. Say what you want about the deficiencies of Electron, but it's proven to make software that people use. And like! If you and OP want to disagree with the premise that used software is good software, and go in the opposite direction, that's fine - that's the point where we agree to disagree and go home.
