The huge binary size doesn't really bother me, but the a CPU usage does. On my laptop I can't run something like vscode because it kicks the fans on and kills the battery.
And as a developer, I hate JavaScript. I'd much rather use a compiled language and use Qt/GTK/etc.
Probably the biggest reason is because it's used too much. Seems like the vast majority of these electron/Tauri apps would work just fine as a website/extension.
Maybe that's just me, but I remember back when I was a web dev and I tried Electron for the first time. There wasn't any point in doing it, I was just excited to see my site as an exe on my desktop.
