> Look at HN, people hate the electron stuff. There is just a shortage of competent programmers. The problem is that, to first order, the web is the only thing that exists. To second order, the web and Windows are the only things that exist. So, any GUI toolkit needs to get traction there first--which is exactly what Electron does. HN readership, of course, don't care about either of those so anything they develop are doomed to fail from the very start. | |||||||||||||||||

I think you mean that in terms of commercial success? I could understand that at least a little bit, but I was mainly thinking about free (simple) system utilities, that still get shipped as complete browsers. Bonkers. But for desktop use there are crazy good options these days, unless one cannot part from their tutorial language, which is these days oneOf {python, typescript}. | |||||||||||||||||
