To be fair, most of us doing dev on our machines probably have a Slack client or Mattermost app floating in the background.
...And we might even be doing dev in something like VS Code in the first place.
We all like to dunk on Electron, but it's kind of become part of the furniture at this point, for better our worse.
- saagarjha 6y agoYou can avoid Electron if you try hard enough. I use Slack through a native client, for example; before that I was using browser tabs.
- whynotminot 6y agoI'm not stupid dude, I know there are ways to avoid it. Sometimes they're not worth it. Electron's existence itself is proof of "sometimes it's not worth it."
- mixmastamyk 6y agoTry hard enough, haha. I don't have a single Electron app, and yet have never purposely avoided them either.
- johncalvinyoung 6y agoWhich native client? Slack for desktop is Electron.

- thekyle 6y agoMaybe we could use the iPad version of Slack for better efficiency.
- whynotminot 6y agoThis is really great point, and does highlight a key advantage of Apple Silicon going forward. This kind of thing will now be an option going forward on Apple's new computers, in a way it wasn't before.
- saagarjha 6y agoYeah, until Slack throws a fit and decides that desktop users don't deserve to use it.
