I would actually pay extra for proper open-source, minimal win32 client for spotify which runs every damn winbox. This electron apps Spotify been trying to get right for so many years is such a waste of information and cpu cycles sometimes. Can't believe a company which manages such enormous amount of data is so bad at UI

There are platforms other than windows. Electron is one of the simpler ways to get software released on multiple operating systems without having to support different builds and architectures.

There are at least dozen libs other than Electron that allow to put some lists and images together and be fully platform independent. I'm not even saying what language. This Spotify app was a prototype which stalled at some point because I guess they have much harsher issues to deal with.
