They might choose the former but then what? I would too, as a user, but in practice as the article mentions the alternatives aren't yet that great. So quite often the user can choose between the Electron app... or nothing. Many users accept the drawbacks and in fact it's mostly developers or technical people in general who complain about Electron. Most users don't even know about any of this.
- viktorcode 5y agoThat's a great point. Choice is often between Electron or nothing. Why? Because even when they can afford it, software development corporations prefer to save money on the development. Even if they save peanuts, as in my example regarding apps on M1. Obviously, this can exists only when there's no or minimum competition for the end users.
