I don't think anybody can be religiously opposed to Electron any more. It's pervasive.

I will not use an Electron app unless there is no other alternative (including "don't use any app"). So, I'm not exactly religious about it, but pretty strong. In my opinion, Electron is the downsides of both web and desktop apps with the benefits of neither. So I avoid it like the plague.

If I have a choice between two apps that do the same thing and are roughly equal on features, I usually go with the non-Electron one. In this case I use the Wacup music player.

These days if a program is made with Electron, I'll either just use the hosted website version (ie discord.gg), or not use the program at all. 120mb+ releases for this program isn't an argument in Electron's favor.

I wouldn't be "religiously opposed" to Electron if Electron apps gave a damn about respecting platform conventions.

Sin always is pervasive.

We live in a fallen world. I find myself using Signal Desktop, and have to say 10 Hail Emacs for every message I send.
