Seems to me like you're suffering from "I can't replicate it therefore it does not exist and everybody else is either lying to me or a complete idiot." You haven't actually called anyone out as liars or idiots, but

Why a fork of Atom rather than a brand new Electron app?

Well, extending the spec could be the solution too. What I was trying to convey was more that there will be a lack of such clients until there is either an agreed-upon extension to the standard, or a popular enough fork of the standard. (at

"That's on Amazon" but you're bearing the consequences. What consequences would there be in the nightmare scenario for Amazon? None. They get the power and not the responsibility.

The two major issues here: 1. Allowing something that is not HTML (and user-supplied) to be returned by the server with the text/html MIME type, causing the browser to want to parse it as HTML. 2. A link between the CDN (Akamai) domain

What sucks about (e.g.) Adium? I haven't had any major issues with it other than the fact that it doesn't seem to be too actively updated. My biggest complaint is lack of protocol support for other things (e.g. GTalk vs. Hangout

Or how AOL's Oscar protocol got updated at one point to start requesting chunks of the AOL IM binary as authentication against open sources clients (because they couldn't distribute AOL's binary with their client).
