No snark taken. My counterpoint here would be that HTML is a markup language and that the "equivalent to emacs" would be the web browser itself. My issue with that potential position is that the web is implicitly untrusted. That's why developers even deign to put up with Electron in the first place, because their app can run with more permissions and, thus, offer better host integration (i.e. "nativeness"). Of course, everyone loves to hate Electron. Who wants to run 6 different Chromium instances? Nobody, apparently! I'm not the first wise guy to suggest a single-instance approach that combines the performance wins of a shared browser instance with the trust of an Electron application. It's painfully obvious that there's a golden medium here, but, of course, if it were an easy problem to solve, it would already be solved!
