Windows UI has been utterly inconsistent since Windows 8.
'Modern develpoers'? What're you talking about, first of all, HN has weird trend of speaking as if Devs are these all-powerful artisans at their org when actually there's a Product Manager and a whole design org that makes these calls, Devs at best can file a recommendation and maybe get it considered.
Secondly, Electron is a business choice to minimize time spent doing cross-platfom GUI development. Can someone give me the list of cross-platform apps from back in the day with well thought out platform-specific GUIs? Cause I swear most of the popular Windows apps I used in the early 2000s like Winamp, Foobar2000, Notepad++, Soulseek, µTorrent, were Windows-only. Everyone's not just gonna run out and learn Qt, so tired of this low-hanging fruit type comment about Electron/Web Developers ruining everything. Go talk to this thing called the market instead.
