> Sorry but requiring web devs to ignore the last 4~5 years of progress is just unacceptable. No it's not. "Web dev" is one of the things in my toolbox and I still clicked on this well-knowing it was likely not truly cross-platform and keeping up with bleeding-edge features. Truth is all development is about tradeoffs and Electron is one heck of a blob to ship to users... in a lot of applications a lighter weight artifact may be desirable where the trade off of the last 4-5 years of browser advancements may be perfectly OK. Is it unacceptable? Sure - if your application needs features out of the last 4-5 years of browser advancements... but that's not most applications. If you need a bleeding-edge solution that's truly cross-platform then Electron clearly still is your choice as you're just shipping around a fancied up Chromium.
