It would be really nice if software developers that rant about X instead come up with a better alternative to X. You don’t like Electron? Great! Come up with a better alternative that still gives you the multi-platform/cost advantages of Electron. You don’t like Node? Great! Show all of us what a better solution would be that still gives us all the advantages of Node. It is super easy, but also super lazy, to ignore the advantages of X and only focus on the disadvantages of X. There is a reason why X became popular! An alternative needs to give the same benefits while fixing the problems. If nobody can come up with a solution for that then perhaps X is a pretty good technology.
