Considering you just admitted to only ever using Slack I would think you would be the one joking, right?

I'll admit my experience with electron apps is limited to Slack - where right clicking. Gives you "Copy Link" and "Go To Link". Having said that, do you have an example of an electron app that's not a design misfit within MacOS and Windows?

I use Atom on a daily basis. Dead simple plugins and themes. Check out the git-time-machine-view plugin.
Of course it's not perfect. But as someone who's used it for the past year I can attest it's been a joy to use.
Reminds me of some of the worst excesses[1] of AAA Windows software - now available on Mac.

Edit: I think it's ironic that Macs were criticized for years for having single-button mice but now developers are more than happy to ship apps with no right-click support at all.
