> That's cool, since it eases distribution a lot, way better than Java web start or Microsoft's ClickOnce could. One argument against Electron Apps is the existence of software like GIMP, Calibre, Blender, VLC,... which manage to be multi-platform without being built by a multi-million dollars company. And on Linux, it's very easy to get them with the package manager. Web Technologies may be a faster way to build a prototype, but it does not tend to efficient software. And I prefer not to have a hard dependency on someone's servers for my workflows [1]. [1]: I still use internet based services, but I prefer to have my data offline (music, photos, documents, books,...).
