Try the applications and judge for yourself. There are tons of them. Most people are probably OK with the performance of apps like Spotify, and have never come close to exhausting their memory or disk space. I think being able to use HTML and CSS for layout, but with full access to native APIs, is a huge reason electron keeps winning despite the hn complaints. I’d be happier without it being JavaScript-based, but there are nice languages that compile down to it, like Elm and clojurescript.
- Royalaid 8y agoI would also like to echo this. Yes most of everyone on HN hate Electron and they can point out any number of reasons why it's bad, and they would correct. In spite of the technical problems Electron is still seeing growth and continues to ship in new products. If you think Electron works for what you need I would say use it and just ship, once you have more resources reevaluate if it is or is not working.
