A market leader in a niche sector, re-built their UI in Electron, it's primary purpose is to selectively migrate items from one technology to another. While it does provide a treeview hierarchical structure, with a checkbox next to each item, selecting that via say "spacebar" or selecting multiple items using CTRL+SHIFT does not function. As well, it's non-native scrollbar does not accurately reflect your position and does not allow finely-grained re-positioning. This is $5,000/seat software that has glowing reviews and has essentially captured the market for what it does - yes a small market, with approximately 6-8 competitors - almost all of whom have copied their user-interface and even Electron implementation.

- anthk 7y ago- Atrocious input lag - Lagging menus and widgets - You misclick in Google Maps? Better if you start over the route - 30x more resources for something done under 80MB, such as Discord vs Kopete. The later had inline LaTeX. And video previews. In 2007. - Invisible scrollbars with no intuitive use - Flat design not being able to distinguish a button for the background layer. Compare it with Motif, W9x, BeOS, KDE3 with Keramik.
