Arguments like these are a lot more compelling when they include some specific features that are missing. Too often, "includes everything you need for free!" translates to "weighs down your binary with a hundred megabytes of functionality no one actually uses."
- Klonoar 6y agoThe argument has been beaten to death by every thread on the topic here, so I don't particularly feel the need to take the bait. Your comment also implies that I'm cosigning Electron being a bloated slug of an environment; I'm not. You will never unseat it by offering a pale imitation of it in place of it, though - and these comparisons result in little more than that.
- sbergot 6y agoWhat electronjs brings is cross platform deployment. This is not a small feature.

- jancsika 6y ago* PointerEvent for handling mouse, touch, multi-touch all with a single API * decodeURIComponent and unescape because my backend sometimes sends ISO-8859-1 cruft and I don't want things to break because of those stupid edge cases * web animations animate method isn't necessary but boy is it nice for a quick-and-dirty solution * those insufferable "NS"-suffixed DOM methods because yes, I do need to create SVG elements programmatically now and then The list goes on and on, running the gamut from "convenient kludge" to "the GUI might not work correctly without this." The idea of the GUI developer putting up with more obstacles in their quest for a slick-looking UI because they'd like to leverage a slick-looking GUI-toolkit has got to be an anti-pattern.
