Electron is flash for the desktop (2016)

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.

I think OP meant that the app is consistent across platforms -- e.g. Slack on Windows looks and works like Slack on MacOS.
