Where else would users complain about undesirable developer trends if not on a developers' community?

You are right and I am sorry, that was unnecessary.

For the record, I do think there are problems with Electron, just not the ones usually mentioned. A big (huge!) problem in my opinion is that two windows can't share JS context. It's the reason why VSCode is way behind in multi-monitor support for instance.

This drives me crazy with Slack. In 2019 I can't have two chats open at once? Madness.
