I use macOS and don’t really have complaints about the few Electron apps that I use daily.

“Electron bad!” is as much of a cargo culted snobby HN myth as “Macs have no RAM!”



Electron apps are terrible at following platform conventions. Scrolling is wrong, menus are wrong, etc. There’s plenty to dislike.


Electron bad ===> Couldn't be bothered to learn how to do proper Web development and Google is my overlord.


They're called desktop applications for a reason. Browser apps should run in a browser.
