That was probably a bad argument, setting up eclipse shouldn't be tougher than setting up tooling for modern SPA frameworks like react or vue..
But Electron is a there for a different reason. I can convert my SPA to a working desktop app with minimal coding (same Css/js front end/ja backend, if you use nodeJs). And even it works for all major platforms. So I literally have one codebase for web and all three desktop platforms.. beat that!
I know it's not optimal to have everyone open a chromium instance under the hood but how bad is it from JVM?
- pjmlp 9y agoMuch worse, it consumes more RAM, executes slower and lacks the platform integration even what Swing is capable of, reducing the UI/UX to the minimum denominator of HTML5 / CSS3 capabilities. And with Java, I have the option to have an actual binary, 100% native code, if I feel inclined to do so. Something that many Java haters keep being unaware of.
- TomMarius 9y agoYes, technologically worse. Decision to go with Electron is a business one.
