What proportion of popular Electron apps do you think would have had first class Linux ports if Electron hadn't existed? I'm guessing not many. I do sympathise, I fully realise Electron apps are sub-par in many ways compared to native apps, but to be brutally honest that's mainly a problem for platforms that would have had native apps otherwise. For linux that's generally not the case and it's either Electron or nothing. Now ok, maybe nothing would be preferable in some ways because it might encourage native Linux competitors, but that's pretty unlikely to work out in practice. I think it's more likely that the availability of Electron versions of popular apps makes Linux a lot more viable as a user desktop, and that could promote better Linux support generally. For example once Outlook is an Electron app there might finally be an officially supported MS Outlook client for Linux. That's huge.
