> ...by using Electron for their driver. Except they didn't use Electron for the driver. They used it for the management UI. > I'm sure that allowed them to iterate quickly, hire developers who know nothing but JS to build their driver package and ship the MVP with low costs! Pffft. Imagine thinking that people who choose Electron only know JS. Clearly that's incorrect as many companies choose Electron despite employing a multitude of native programmers. I'm one of them. Personally, I know C, C++, C#, Go, JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, SQL, Swift and Visual Basic...and I'll choose Electron to build GUIs every time. I also use React Native to build mobile apps. Pure native kits all suck compared to Electron or React Native and on top of their pure suckage you'll have to deal with the idiosyncrasies of each platform you deploy to. I don't just build them either. I run multiple instances of about 4-5 different Electron apps all day long without issue on an i7-4770, a CPU that was released in 2013, inside of an old refurbished machine from like 2014 or 2015. And that's under XFCE most of the day...but when do I go use my Mac or Windows machines I get the same exact experience from those apps thanks to Electron. But oh no! 300mb!! Unneeded code on my precious hard drive! Maybe stop whining and get a bigger hard drive if you can't handle 300mb. And I doubt you've actually looked into many of the native desktop apps that you're running to investigate how much of the code is actually necessary. Let's hear some of the great native apps that you run. What kind of work do you? I really want to hear about the 100% efficient native-only apps.
