> sorry if that’s come across as inflammatory No worries at all. If everyone shared my opinions I'd go somewhere else (or question my sanity). Also, I'm triggered by unnecessary bloat as well. > electron absolutely did not standardise UI. Of course not! > you have options that would greatly ease pains of this sort, wx, QT, SDL, etc Yes, but they really need to work on web too, if you have a web app that shares code with the native one. Otherwise you still have two UI stacks. I was seriously considering flutter, but dart is a small ecosystem and most importantly if Google pulls their support it will almost certainly die. Web tech isn't perfect, but it's very mature and standardized. Sure, you can bloat your app/page, but if you are just moderately responsible things are very snappy. Today, you don't even have to use JS with wasm. Tauri allows me to use web tech with much lighter weight OS webviews and no Node. > you’re presuming that users can afford the resources for another multi-gigabyte ram hog If your crud like app is anywhere near 1GB in ram, there are other issues. Electron adds maybe 200Mb overhead, the rest is the web app itself. App bloat is a separate issue.
