- chefandy 3y agoI think that anyone who recommends Electron to a young developer interested in learning native application GUI programming should be slapped. It's the wrong tool for a specific job. That's a pretty niche use case to judge overall worthiness against, though.
- zer0zzz 3y agoI suspect the biggest issue with electron is that it leads to lots of devs packaging various V8 versions individually with their app. On windows they have been trying to get devs to switch to something called WebView2 where the OS provides an electron compatible chromium where unlike electron the resources are centrally managed by the OS.
