I get the idea of Electron Apps having some hate for the performance. I mean if I have to open a large SQL file (> 250MB) and compare the performance between Atom and Sublime... well the difference will be day and night.
But there are a few differences between Flash and Electron that are not small. I mean the first thing is, Electron is open source in a open Standard, and have a fast development cycles to fix performance and security issues.
I think it's like a PHP situation. Electron is easy to use and sells itself as a cheap way to build apps, so this attracts lazy developers so we have a lot of problems, but that doesn't mean the technology is bad. But this is not a Electron problem, I mean web pages right now are heavy and slow for nor real reason. We need better fron-end developers.
I love VS Code, Hyper, and others, so maybe I'm biased, but I think Electron will be a interesting option to make desktop Apps something again.

- feelandcoffee 10y agoSorry I was vague, and yeah you're right they have never stooped. I was thinking more in the Hype thing for new developers. You know like a small Renaissance in the Desktop UI/UX deparment, you know would be cool see beautiful desktop Apps in sites like Behance, Dribbble, etc spotting the first places, instead of the classic App with default OS UI or weird adapted ports of Mobile apps.
