No... Leaving aside your opinion that Electron is easier, Electron forces an unsolvable problem on you - the performance of the app is horrible. A bare bones nothing Electron app idles using 150mb ram and has a huge binary size, all 25 million lines of chromium and nodejs. And Javascript is slow and not designed for application programming.
- 21 8y agoSounds like the argument C++ programmers use against Python.
- remoroid 8y agoYou're not responding to my point though? I have a slow laptop, and I cant run Electron apps. If I run a Qt app, it runs beautifully. Would people use VLC if it was made in Electron? No. I like Python too.
- 21 8y agoNot everybody has a slow laptop. And while people wax how computers from 80s were booting in 2 seconds and everything was lightning fast compared to the bloated software of today, there doesn't seem to be much of a movement towards ditching todays computers and going back to Windows 95 and Mac OS 9. https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/#development-environments-and-tools https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/#development-...
- remoroid 8y ago> Not everybody has a slow laptop No shit, my point was, and still is, Electron has extremely poor performance, and theres no reason to use it over Qt.. You still havent responded to my point..
