I can't help but feel as if the author can't make the distinction between a platform and the software written for it. People have been misusing platforms ever since they existed. Its not because someone used Electron to build a console that Electron is bad in and of itself, it just means someone used the wrong tool for that specific job - or maybe that fitted all their requirements in which cause the author is just dismissing the work with no clue about its context.

I also can't help but feel as if the author is a beginner developer lacking a huge amount of context and experience. Saying "Electron enables lazy developers to write garbage" displays a huge misconception about software development in the very first place - garbage will be written no matter the language or platform.

Alls the article did was remind me that those who can, do, and those who can't, blog.

And those who really can't post snarky comments on HN.
