Ok, first of all, what is going to ship is not just Electron but a whole VM plus Electron. Just like how people run the JVM in Docker or whatever, because nobody trusts any layer of their stack to actually be abstracted enough that they can feel comfortable with what is underneath. That’s going to be truly awful. Second, the “success” of Electron is like the “success” of online advertising. Nobody really likes it and it’s basically a local optimum in a deep pit that it’s unfortunate we’re stuck in. It’s just that economic pressures have pushed the market to this being something people tolerate rather than actively desire.
