   If you compare the demand for websites vs mobile apps, we have about a total of 5 million downloadable apps and about 644 million active websites according to netcraft, which can be interpreted as 131 web devs for every 1 app dev. The pool

   As someone who doesn't follow or even like electron from the sounds of it, why do you expect anything about their release log to be worth anything to you?

   If the "competent ones" have to resort to bitter FUD wars to protect their turf, then maybe they are the ones who need to re-evaluate their so-called careers. Somewhere out there, there's a bitter COBOL developer still comp

    JQuery is a low level DOM library, so "JQuery project" in reality is an SPA thats built without any kind of architectural framework. You can just start with jQuery and build a maintainable, robust SPA on top of it - if you had the

    If your "world class" games from 10 years ago were online based, they'd have the same problem. So its not really the web tech you are against, its the client-server application model.

    At the end of the day, if you look under the hood of your favorite front-end tech stack, its doing the exact same thing. Everything end up as vanillaJS with ugly DOM manipulations, all your framework does is hide those details for you, so y

    > If you follow the "modern best practices" to make a SPA, you are talking about pulling in at least: npm, webpack, react, react-router, lodash, redux, bootstrap, and perhaps much more. I wouldn't call that best practice

    I suspect most electron devs haven't even heard of NW.js even though it came first, so there wouldn't even be any comparison to begin with.
