Everything you've written here presents a nightmarish vision of the computing future. Ethical and privacy considerations play a large role in my decision making process on which software I use. I don't want to use Chromium at all, if possible. I use one Electron app, Slack, on account of requiring it for work.
> Native desktop apps are never coming back
I really hope you're wrong. This would be a terrible outcome for so many reasons. I refuse to use Electron apps on my personal laptop on account of the absolutely noticeable degradation of performance and battery life from using these Electron apps. Using vscode literally halved my battery life.
- dirkg 7y agoGnome already is based on html/js. There is no need for 10 different UI toolkits if one standard can be optimized. The problem is html/js are far from well designed but due to their popularity a lot of time and money has been spent optimizing them.
