I just don't get this attitude when it comes to open source apps given away for free. Is Electron bloated? Yes. Is it ridiculously heavy? Yes. Is it dog slow? Absolutely. Do I die inside when I see it used? Yes, I do. Why then do I think Electron is a good thing that I'm glad we have? Because when it comes to open source (aka volunteer work), people use what they know, and nowadays most people are web developers. If not for Electron, people wouldn't use GTK, Qt, or Java, they'd be doing something else with their time and these tools wouldn't exist. Now that said, while I use several open source electron apps, I would never pay for one. If you want me to buy your software, use something native. Exception being that if you are a web app such as Slack, Discord, etc, then I give you a pass on Electron as long as you're maintaing your web app.
