I'm not being obtuse, on the contrary I am bright and focussed enough that my experience building an app around TextKit 2 was opposite to the premise of the OP.

I'm not being obtuse, on the contrary I am bright and focussed enough that my experience building an app around TextKit 2 was opposite to the premise of the OP. It's a few lines of code to add a TextKit2 component to an app, and it just works. It is what the developer does with it afterwards that will make or break it. The same goes for Electron, it is not a panacea. That's just software development, the developer is responsible for the code they write. So the reader is free to accept my story about my shipped app and my assurance that it didn't take unreasonable effort, or accept a blog post complaining how difficult things are that has no code or shipped app at the end of it.
