Slack, Hipchat, Spotify, Whatsapp, Gitkraken, VS Code, Nylas, ... I'd say it's caught on. Only Qt app I'm aware I ever use is VirtualBox? > Comparing it to web communities is disingenuous. How? You use web technologies to built Electron apps. The strength of those communities is a big win. > Heck, Node.js deployments have their share of horrors. It also has its share of successes, just like any lang/community. Not a useful generalisation. > Especially if your goal is to have a native app experience and not a website in an app. FUD. People overstate the 'native experience' argument. Real users don't give a crap, there are tons of apps, even built with 'native' tech that feel unlike any other app. If I ask an average user the difference between Whatsapp/Spotify vs some native apps, are they really going to say 'Whatsapp/Spotify don't feel native'? None of the apps I listed feel like 'a website in an app'. That's a huge exaggeration.
