I think you're thinking of a different argument. I never said it doesn't provide consistent UX.
It's just that when I hear a "simple markdown editor", I don't envision an app with a bundled web browser. I'm sure it looks great and all that.
- mumblemumble 7y agoWhen they say "simple markdown editor", they're pretty obviously not talking about implementation details. They're talking about it being easy to use. As far as the argument goes, I'm not sure they're really separable. If you have an Electron app that markets itself as being simple (as in "easy to use"), and someone says, "No it isn't, because the stack it's built on is complex", their unstated major premise is that implementation details are more important than UI. Leaving it unstated doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed head-on. One of a syllogism's legs can easily be both tacit and the crux of the argument at the same time.
