Interesting, font rendering is the number one thing that makes me hate Electron apps (I have so much more reasons to hate Chrome).
It’s to the point that I just can’t use, say, VS Code on a monitor that is not Hi-DPI.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that the font doesn’t look better. Maybe it’s aesthetically more pleasing but to me, it’s just harder to read.
I have multiple eye issues that may not help and which make me more demanding but since I don’t have this issue with OS rendered fonts, I consider this to be an issue.
