We don't have a choice. IMO it's perfectly fine to be consistently unhappy on that point and to rant about it.
- jupp0r 5y agoYou can be perfectly unhappy, sure. My point was just to go a little deeper than just rant and talk about the economics of why companies choose electron in spite of all the disadvantages it comes with.
- pdimitar 5y agoI agree on that but from my side the answer of "why use Electron?" is fairly obvious at this point. I could be wrong. For a guy like myself it'd be more interesting to have the much more tricky discussion of "how can we not use Electron without spending millions on inventing a cross-platform native GUI toolkit?". I recognize that's a personal preference, yep.
