- noobquestion81 6y agoThis isn’t true either. If market share is your goal, just write 3 native apps. No, devs choose electron to speed up development of apps that need to be cross-platform. They only write one app instead of three. Faster dev cycle. In doing so, they aim for the middleground UX between all the platforms and end up with something that kinda sucks on each one. Its a tradeoff that is usually overlooked, and indeed is often sold later as “a unified look”, which doesn’t do anything for typical users that work within a single platform.
- saagarjha 6y agoYes, but sometimes you're not in a position where your users are willing to tolerate "we cut corners to save time and money so your experience is worse as a result".
- danellis 6y agoWhich part are you saying isn't true? That Electron advocates sometimes claim that, or that applications should conform to the OS they're on?
