Praise Electron. I can't imagine the cross platform headaches Teams has induced on its developers. Sometimes you have to wonder whether Win11's new hardware requirements and Electron/Teams' crappy performance are related.
- dividedbyzero 5y agoJudging by how cross-platform was done before Electron, the macOS app would probably lag way behind and Linux users would get nothing at all.
- Kaze404 5y agoConsidering Slack and Discord also use Electron, and not only have much more functionality but also do it pretty much flawlessly (to reasonable extents), I don't buy this argument.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoYeah it's fine to call Electron a little memory piggy, but there's no reason stable apps can't be built on it. A company like MS should be embarrassed that their app sucks so badly.
- onkoe 5y agoElectron works wonderfully and is quite fun to develop with. It's a shame that the performance is.. questionable.. but it's not hard to make stable apps with it. Seems to be a Microsoft issue at this point lol
- gchamonlive 5y agoWe can't pretend Microsoft doesn't have the resources to do something like this right. They just don't focus on user experience. This is not limited to teams. Azure Active Directory, Windows Servers, Sharepoint, OneDrive... they all have terrible UX.
