Thank you for not using Electron.


All of our end users are internal, so the main bloat-related problems wouldn't really be an issue at all. Why should we be worried about electron in the future?


I have 3 "internal" tools in electron I need to have running all the time on my PC... It's a corporate dell mini PC, poor thing.


Electron is notorious for disregarding all platform conventions, being slow, and being a memory hog.


The worry is that you have too many developers who don't consider HTML/CSS/JS a proper stack for a "real" engineer and there refuses to learn it.


> even though the development time is obviously shorter with electron

Evidence? I think you're making a great point (about the reputation of html/css/js) but leave the unfounded claims out and your point would be stronger.


Obviously shorter to people who have done HTML/CSS/JS for some time, same with Qt/C++ or Qt/Python.


this. I was just about to write that the tutorial should be shown to every Electron developer.
