For a lot of people this isn't true.
I think for web developers, making guis is fun (why this is done in electron). For a lot of non web developers, making the actual tool is the fun part. Having to then fiddle around with some gui feels less like programming and more like a chore.

- mayeaux 7y agoActually I hate doing frontends way prefer to work with serverside code than play with the DOM, but I recognize that a good frontend is super important to the app to allow people to reason about how it works and to help them through the process, but for my 2c I would way prefer to tinker with backend code all day :)
