> so many people fail to realize the success of Electron is in making desktop applications so much more approachable for those that are mainly front-end focused developers/hackers. I don't know who failed to realize this. I rarely see comments refusing to admit that "building one electron app is easier than building 3 native apps for Windows/Mac/Linux". Most of people criticize the use of electron when megacorps undervalue user experience and make all sorts of excuses to use electron for the sake of cost saving in software development. In many HN posts, as users who are technical enough to understand the impact of electron apps on their computers, I think the general idea is that native apps simply feel better and electron should not be encouraged.
