Not while priorities are inverted. Right now, the priority is not on the end user so much as it is on developer productivity and iterating as fast as possible.
- lkbm 7y agoThis is an inaccurate model. As an end user, I want the developers to be super-productive and iterate quickly so they can add the features I want. The priorities of end users are what you dislike. We choose "this has the features I want" over "this is lean and snappy". There are lean and snappy text editors out there. People choose Evernote and Word, because features. There are lean and snappy audio players out there. People choose iTunes, because features. There's lean software out there, and there's bloated software our there. Right now, it's (often) the bloated software is popular. Popular software is tautologically popular because it's what the most people use.
- JustSomeNobody 7y ago> People choose iTunes, because features. This is inaccurate. They don't get to choose iTunes. Also, a lot of the more popular Electron apps are not as feature rich as some of the native apps, so I don't agree with your assessment. I think they're popular because the people who do seem to like them are loud enough to sway opinion.
