Without this kind of thing happening at times, we might still be using Flash.

Electron feels to me a lot like stand-alone flash apps used to feel.

I get that same feeling when I open an program using it; kind of a 'oh...' slight disappointment. I get that it makes sense sometimes for a developer to sacrifice performance and size for ease of development... but as a user, it feels like a loss, a sign the developer will be taking too many shortcuts, or that I just won't like their general design philosophy.

Yeah, it had nothing to do with work on open standards like HTML5 and CSS3. (And WebGL for more advanced rendering needs) /s
