It most certainly is not. You just don't know what you're talking about and keep making up new stuff when confronted with actual facts that contradict your fervently held beliefs.

You certainly didn't use any of your cocoa widget for the UI there. It was HTML + CSS.

Yeah, GNU steps for GUI on windows... This is what you think could be an argument for electron users ?

Again bad faith. The world has way, way more code, snippets, tutorials and doc about any HTML + CSS + JS code than any tech based on Objective-C.
Programming knowledge is transferrable, but the knowledge of the ecosystem is not, and is always the most consumming.

Oh yes, it is. Because you see we are living an era where it's hard to find any good programmer at all for anything. They are all taken, and are very expensive.
So basically, on a tech limited to one ecosystem, finding them will be even harder, and even more expensive.
The simple fact that you are pretending it's no big deal (while any company will tell you otherwise, so much that the GAFAs are spending millions just in their recruitment process) illustrate how much a troll you are.
