One key difference is that you don't have to bundle a full copy of .NET with your app, consuming additional download bandwidth, install space, and RAM when running. Running 6 Electron apps is running 6 different browsers all at the same time.
- GekkePrutser 6y agoYes this is exactly why I don't like Electron. But also: The UI. Electron apps have a very distinct "non-native" UX about them. Sure they look kinda pretty in many cases but they don't integrate well with every client OS. They all do their own UI thing, just like in the early days of Linux on the desktop. There's a few gems that use Electron really well. VS Code comes to mind. But even Microsoft itself publishes some really poor electron apps, like Skype for Business and Teams for Mac that are horrible resource hogs.
