Lol, yes. Do you know why people use Electron, though?
- anonzzzies 3y agoProgrammers/companies use it to save time and costs. Sure. (Poor Slack has profits of 300m$/year; they cannot possibly do this better!) But endusers? They don't care about the tech, so if you ask them; 'how about a non laggy version that doesn't eat all your memory and cpu?' You think they would go 'no no, please let me use Electron'?

- ajkjk 3y agoIt's the opposite, writing software that's any good on a native stack is hell. Electron is easier to write _and_ better, in every way except for memory (and the tendency to write slow stuff in JS... but that's fixable.)

- znpy 3y ago> Lol, yes. Do you know why people use Electron, though? Because it's forced on them, really. I'd gladly use slack through some kind of bridge (it used to be possible).
- ajkjk 3y agoI would choose it for a new project over any native stack in a heartbeat. I think a lot of engineers would agree with me.
