Practical reasons why Electron is winning. A universal base framework and language. Choice of popular development framework, UI and other libraries and million of developers.
- pjmlp 5y agoElectron is winning because people are lazy, really. I do Web development alongside native, and would never pick Electron unless obliged by customer requirements to act accordingly. What to just use HTML/CSS/JS instead of the native OS capabilities? Use Web widgets, PWAs, daemons/services with local browser UI. No need to install hundreds of Chrome instances, and have them run in parallel. If you go with daemons/services with local browser UI, you can even use microservices and a distributed cluster for your app, what about that? Maybe it is worth of an HN blog post.
