I’ve never heard praise for electron, though that could be the crowd I associate with. Electron apps are the worst of both worlds; it’s so bad that I’m willing to open a web browser if electron is the other option.

Just check the comments here, where many of us happen to bash it, while others praise it for bringing apps to GNU/Linux.

99% of Electron stuff could be done as pure Web application, and if native support is required, running as daemon.
