And everyone that ships an Electron app as well.


Sigh, no.

We would’ve gotten Electron any other way if it wasn’t Chromium, it’s the only endgame for UI given how native layers shat the bed.

Mozilla also no longer even supports embedding. ;P


Speaking as someone that has been doing native and Web for 30 years, it is the only game for developers that couldn't care, and in the process help Chrome to widen its market share and influence.


I've been doing this for 20, which is enough to say: rattling off years of experience isn't going to win me over on this point.

> it is the only game for developers that couldn't care

Yeah, dude. Most devs literally do not care, they just want to write and ship stuff. The native stack(s) are not cohesive enough and the numbers do not lie; devs do not want to rewrite the UI n times.

Signed, someone who also does native and web UI dev. ;P


Then don't complain about Chrome taking over the Web.
