I have yet to see a great app built on web technology. All Electron apps provide a terrible UX, they are slow, unresponsive and feel out of place with the rest of the OS I'm running on. I want my apps to feel native, to look and feel exactly like all other apps.
One of the greatest tragedies of web UI's is the lack of a standard UI toolkit. Almost evert web-based app has to roll their own UI components, there is no consistency. This is terrible for usability, especially for users that are not as tech-savvy as we are. It's one thing to have to explain what a certain UI component is and does once, but it gets infinitely worse if every app has their own spin on it. Who doesn't love teaching their grandma 1232043 different variations on a checkbox ?
Oh my god, that sounds so cringey, right out of a marketing copy. It’s hard to wrap my head around someone writing this with a straight face.
You are acting like users have a choice. For example: Microsoft Teams is an abomination of an app. It's slow, clunky, eats memory like there is no tomorrow and feels totally out of place on macOS. Still it's a huge commercial succes and I use it every day, even though as a user I absolutely hate it. I simply have to use it because my employer chose it as the company collaboration tool. And they didn't choose it because of it's incredible UX, they chose it because we already have an Office365 subscription and it was included in that, so we already paid for it anyway.
Some Electron apps have been huge commercial successes despite their terrible UX.
In the year 2022, multitouch gestures on the web still feel janky and wierd and just don’t work all that well.
