It is sad.

But I'd rather people ship something and refine the Electron version than never ship anything at all. Mostly because I believe more in indie devs than I do in the purity of software.

I would at least recommend trying tauri.studio out instead of Electron. :)

As an indie dev who has been working on an Electron application, thanks. Reading comments on message boards like this one, it's easy to pick up the attitude that it would be better to have less software than more crap. And I think that internalizing that attitude hurt my productivity on this current Electron-based project. But once I was able to push through that and get the app out to actual users, I see growing enthusiasm among the target user base, and as far as I know, zero complaints from actual or even potential users about the fact that the app uses Electron. Sure, maybe those complaints will come once the product gets past the early adopter phase, but the reception so far has been encouraging.
