I'd say the "need" is shrinking because the number of viable options are shrinking. I'd throw out every single Electron app and replace them with native if it was possible. They're almost always either frustratingly slow or poorly designed. Oftentimes they're both.
- osrec 6y agoI don't disagree, but I think there may be better alternatives to Electron in the not so distant future. I don't think the concept of Electron is bad (i.e. one API regardless of the target platform), but the execution of that concept is. I strongly believe we will see some major improvements in the performance of Web apps/Electron, since (a) there is a lot of incentive (b) there are many easy wins to be had in terms of performance.
