So really you only care about 2 operating systems, and you're willing to give up all the native integration opportunities on both of them for the minor convenience of only having to write one (bad, bloated, totally-out-of-place) GUI.

Developers in the 90s often supported 5 or more different platforms. How is it that modern development is so much worse?

that 'minor' convenience is a quite huge one given that he stated that the other apps wouldn't exist if not for electron.

That's an awfully bold, if unbelievable, claim given that cross-platform toolkits have existed for a long time.
