I don't think anybody can be religiously opposed to Electron any more. It's pervasive.
- avtolik 1y agoIf I have a choice between two apps that do the same thing and are roughly equal on features, I usually go with the non-Electron one. In this case I use the Wacup music player.
- bigstrat2003 1y agoI will not use an Electron app unless there is no other alternative (including "don't use any app"). So, I'm not exactly religious about it, but pretty strong. In my opinion, Electron is the downsides of both web and desktop apps with the benefits of neither. So I avoid it like the plague.
- stalfosknight 1y agoI wouldn't be "religiously opposed" to Electron if Electron apps gave a damn about respecting platform conventions.
- pharrington 1y agoThese days if a program is made with Electron, I'll either just use the hosted website version (ie discord.gg), or not use the program at all. 120mb+ releases for this program isn't an argument in Electron's favor.

- NoGravitas 1y agoWe live in a fallen world. I find myself using Signal Desktop, and have to say 10 Hail Emacs for every message I send.
