To decry the mass adoption of Electron because the apps it makes aren't "Mac enough" is just crazy. Electron is a terrific solution for developers and users. Nothing prevents you from writing a Mac-y app with JS and CSS. I think what the author is really upset about is that not many people like Mac-like apps! The whole idea of a boutique Mac UI that obfuscates most functions and dumbs-down others simply isn't that appealing to anyone but noobs. Is there anything Mac-like about iTunes, or ProTools? Even Apple doesn't care about their boutique UI, as OP points out. If Electron can kill native apps, as a dev and a user, I'm all for it.
