> On the other hand there are guys who don't waste much time and pick Electron for their app, for a 1000% performance degradation.

Do hypothetical 1000% performance gains matter if perceived performance is already within acceptable limits?

Wasting time gold plating solutions with no meaningful tradeoff is a negative trait, not a positive one.

I’m all for native UIs, but if you must go cross-platform, it’s often not worth it. Why bother with the specifics of Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS. Just build one mediocre UI to rule them all.

Electron does not have to be slow, just how web applications in general do not have to be slow, multi-megabyte monstrosities.

I bet you would be surprised if you knew where even specialized, sort-of-embedded UI is moving. Hint: it’s not native.

Why does this flame bait have to get squeezed in everywhere?

Nowadays it's possible to opt for a best of both worlds situation: https://tauri.app/ or https://github.com/sciter-sdk/rust-sciter

There is no viable alternative to Electron that is truly multi-platform.

On the third hand are people who use VScode to write Rust code and claim tools based on electron is the way to go.

Being able to use the same code on all three major desktop platforms as well as the web is worth it many times over.
