    Electron app I don’t use is less chances to get a normal app.

      Making a normal app costs much more than making an electron app, so I press X

        Dumping a trashbin into your backyard is even cheaper, doesn’t mean it’s a remotely good idea tho.

          So, why is electron a bad idea?

            The same reason why webapps are a bad idea. We’ve built monstrous browser engines to do fancy stuff to pages in a bonkers language in a sandbox, and the resulting abomination is neither pages nor apps. And now we’re like: we have so much expertise in shuffling page parts around to look like they’re apps, let’s build “real” apps out of them. It’s like rejecting headphones and towing a car with broken windows around with you just in case you’ll wanna listen to music: it technically works, but makes negative sense.
