Ugh, I'd rather have the electron app. I've never seen a Java application that didn't garishly stand out, the widgets do not act at all native, and it's inevitably sluggish. Although, the biggest offenders I've used are Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA, both of which at least have some excuse. I hate using both, though, and VS Code, which I believe is Electron-based, does not feel sluggish the way the other two do.
- pjmlp 5y agoVSCode is full of C++ to work around Electron's bloat, in fact I am still looking forward to the day at very least gets rebooted in React Native. Here is an example of an audio workstation software done in a mix of Java and C++, https://www.bitwig.com/overview/ https://www.bitwig.com/overview/ What most UI/UX projects don't need is programmer art.
