This week I tried the Figma desktop app which I imagine is an electron app. Opened up fine the first time; subsequent attempts just showed a blank screen, so I tried the web browser version. Ugh, felt so slow to open and unresponsive.
Part of the mental brick wall I have is that I’ve always equated browsers with surfing/reading and other light stuff. Opening a desktop app puts me in work mode. And the UIs (seeing the browser chrome in context with the app itself) makes me feel like I’m running a less robust app. I imagine these are hurdles I’ll have to get over within the next couple of years as more apps move to the browser :(
