The thing about electron is, there's a time and a place for it. VsCode is an excellent use case for electron - a complex cross platform app with a very quick release cycle, a large plugin ecosystem and a requirement for display and processing of a lot of different types of markup. But I've also seen a tray notification app worn in electron. It didn't even have a UI. There's also an sd card formatter, and a "quick" launcher. Devs who wasn't to release some tiny single function app like this should rightly be ridiculed for using electron, but more complex stuff (gitKraken etc) should get a pass. Building a large, complex editor is hard work
