I only remember having seen merit-based discussion about Electron. Electron is good for developers because it saves them time and they can use their HTML and JS skills instead of having to learn another language. Electron is bad for users because the resulting applications are way too memory and CPU hungry. Both of those are merits. The question then becomes, is Electron worth it? Some say yes. Personally I don’t use any Electron software, but if I found an app made in Electron to which there was no non-electron alternative, or none that was as good in terms of utility or function or user-friendliness, I might have used it. First someone will have to make Electron apps run on FreeBSD though, which last time I checked they didn’t unfortunately but whatever. Edit: Seems that some people are quite close to getting Electron to build and run on FreeBSD. https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/3797 https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/3797 Question is, will it be maintained in the future?
