> why can't we talk about it if it is substantiated? Because we don't need every bit of news about Electron to turn into a thread of people saying, yet again, "I don't like them compared to native apps". We know already, and it's not relevant to the article. If the article was opinion or research on the differences between Electron and native apps, or suitability of Electron for certain use cases, etc., then your complaint would be relevant. But your comment is not relevant - it has almost nothing to do with the contents of the article.

Yes we do. Maybe if we annoy Electron devs (and their fans) enough the framework will get its act together

This. I almost didn't click to read the comments simply because I knew that it would be the same old religious argument. I hoped I was wrong, but wasn't. Any half-decent dev is aware that VSCode would be slightly better if it was a native app. Any half-decent dev is also aware that doing so with cross-platform support would be a humongous PITA.

You're right about the relevancy. Nothing to do with the 9.0 release. I had an itch that I asked and now its blowing up. I can't delete my comment now.

  Do you have nothing better to do but to cause a stir every thread you go?

    I hope you're not saying I am trolling because I have no such malicious intentions. The aftermath is troublesome though, I need to get off of HN.

The biggest magnet for this phenomenon on Hacker News is Amazon. Every Amazon article will undoubtedly have at least one comment complaining about counterfeits.

  It'll show up everywhere. Apple articles will get something about MacBook keyboards (perhaps a bit less now that they've "fixed" it), Microsoft doing anything with open source will get "EEE", Google will be "Google needs better support", Facebook is "why would you ever use this privacy-violating democracy-destroying nightmare". I haven't even gotten into non-company topics yet.
