It's depressing to watch this trope start to bleed over into HN.
After all it's neither going to be popular because it's a popular sentiment nor is it particularly likely to be something interesting/relevant to get upvotes on merit. It's just going to be an unpopular opinion that gets ignored.
But seriously Electron is so many times better than writing native apps .. or even trying to find the documentation for how to do _one single thing_ in a native app the way you want to.
You are less likely to read the truly unpopular opinions but yes I agree, seems like a cheap way to gain popularity.
