> Would you rather do some library gluing, or reinvent a thousand wheels with every project? Wheels. Absolutely wheels. Library gluing is what gets us garbage like Electron that needs to die in fire. Imagine if a carpentry workshop gives a carpenter a bunch of IKEA kits and tries to conflate wanting to make furniture that isn't cost-cut prefabricated crap with insisting she can recreate all the other tools with just her whittling knife because it's in the 'true spirit of carpentry'. (Honestly, if anything, comparing Electron to IKEA is a insult to IKEA - there are cases where using IKEA is actually reasonable, they just aren't actually carpentry.) (You use libraries when it makes sense to use libraries, just like you use 2x4s when it makes sense to use 2x4s. Sometimes you can make the whole thing out of 2x4s, just like you can make a whole program out of: tr -cs A-Za-z '\n' | tr A-Z a-z | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | sed ${1}q but if you're just gluing (screwing?) 2x4s together, you're going to get bad results when you need something that's not a 2x4.)
