You're not representative of the development world as a whole. You not wanting to use anything electron related is irelevant to its actual success.
Don't forget HN is a bubble : Electron is very much appreciated outside of this particular community.
- tjoff 9y agoAnd what particular javascript-centric bubble are you part of? Again, what electron-apps do people appreciate? There might be tons, I just haven't seen anything usable.
- thiht 9y agoVSCode has been cited dozens of times on this thread only, and is probably one of the best Electron apps. I personally like Insomnia, Postman, Nylas, Discord, Git Kraken. Not seeing "anything usable" is pure bad faith.
- tjoff 9y agoVSCode is currently mentioned three times (including your comment) in the entire discussion here, of which one predates my comment. You said something about bad faith? But yes, VSCode is probably the exception. But they have had to spend a truly impressive effort to combat the shortfalls of electron and are to my knowledge the only ones that might have succeeded in making something relatively performant. If that is what is required to make electron decent then few arguments in favor of it remains.

- rimliu 9y ago[citation needed] I wonder how many outside HN bubble even know what electron is.
