Give it a try. Surprisingly it seems faster than than the .net version - perhaps because WPF and WinForms apps never feel fast. I'm impressed. Feature wise it still seems kind of anemic - you couldn't use it exclusively. Hopefully they will be able to improve on that now that they have twice the manpower to work on one platform. Stepping back and looking at the state of things as a whole, I find it mildly depressing that large companies like github, facebook, google, etc... can't seem to churn out native apps despite their deep pockets. How are the rest of us supposed to manage?

> Give it a try. Surprisingly it seems faster than than the .net version - perhaps because WPF and WinForms apps never feel fast. I'm impressed. Unfortunately I can't give it a relistic try, I can't find a Linux build and I wouldn't get a realistic feel for performance inside a VM. My prior experience with the performance Electron based applications comes from using software such as Atom, VS Code etc. I can't say I've experienced WPF apps being that slow when I do use unvirtualised Windows, though (I think I noticed startup time, but that's about it). > Feature wise it still seems kind of anemic - you couldn't use it exclusively.

Yeah, everything I read pointed at it being a reasonably early release - which is fair enough. I'm sure they'll iterate and improve.

Seems slower to me. Personal observation.
