If you offer developers the choice of either embedding a whole web browser and not dealing with platform differences, or not embedding a whole web browser and dealing with differences between the now-evergreen browser engines on each major platform, many may pick the latter to be more user-friendly. I certainly would.

- JoshTriplett 3y agoExactly; electron only gives you a benefit on that front if you don't otherwise have a need to be portable.
- giovannibonetti 3y agoYou mean the former?
- JoshTriplett 3y agoNo, I mean the latter: picking "not embedding a whole web browser" is worth it for the user-friendliness, even though it means having to deal with those browser differences, which have grown a lot less onerous than they used to be.
