Oh I do agree, it's just the debate is all about being a critic of electron instead of providing viable alternative.

People used crashy, buggy, slow software for years. Photoshop and Office lost you data on a regular basis in the 2000's. Windows BSD was a common occurrence then. We didn't see a massive exodus to Mac products because of that. The only reason people started to go crazy for Apple was after the iPod came out. And even then, it was still a small part of the market.
You can see everyday that people favor cheapness, easiness and convenience over quality. You would not have so much junk food otherwise.

What I'm saying is "it shouldn't matter" what people favor.
Professionals should still favor quality, even if their customers would just as well have crap (or are ok with crap when its all they can find).
Well, maybe it's better to miss the point, than to succeed by selling crap to people who deserve better?
