You're saying exactly what the message above states - either, or. It is totally possible to have a boring JS stack, or a boring Ruby stack, or a boring Python stack. And for most of use cases, that is more than enough. One of the best

Wow! This is a super strong and a super solid observation. Come to any small bikeshop, and you will find it packed with all kinds of parts - some of which may be laying there forever. But you will most likely come out of the shop with your

Can you give an example of such Electron apps, for which you can't tell they're not "native"? Not trying to nitpick or anything, just curious.

A button is a bad UX example, because it is rather a switch with two indicators - now it is on, and turn it the other side/way to turn off. A TV remote is also a bad UX example, because you can actually see that the TV is on or off by
