native is probably an exxageration.
But it means (in theory) the same experience on all plattforms.
And in my opinion, a working linux electron app beats a buggy wine ported version by far.
Because this is usually the choice. The linux market is way too small and unwilling to spend much money, than to justify a common software developer to spend the effort of porting.
- Arch-TK 5y ago>unwilling to spend much money Citation needed. I think for years humble indie bundle kept statistics and linux supporters were always chipping in well above average.
- hutzlibu 5y agoI know, but would doubt, that they are represantive of the common linux user.
- JohnFen 5y ago> Because this is usually the choice. Interesting. I don't seem to be lacking software to do everything I want to do in Linux without having to use Wine. Also, I've spent more money buying Linux software than any other platform.
- inetknght 5y ago> But it means (in theory) the same experience on all plattforms. That's quite the opposite of native since each platform has a host of unique features and capabilities. Guaranteeing the same experience on all platforms is guaranteeing that you're not using the platforms natively.
- Piskvorrr 5y agoSame experience on all platforms. Sure. Nowhere does that imply "a good experience on any one of those platforms"...I am reminded of early (1.4) Java, just an order of magnitude worse.
