Only one Electron app is tolerated on my computer, VSCode, and that is because for some stuff that is the only place I get plugins for, and that is about it.

Everything else, if there is a Web app, then I use the browser, no need to ship it alongside every single application out there.

It is like those garbage mobile apps, that are exactly the same website that I can access via the Webbrowser, packaged inside a "native" app.

And I say this as someone that works primarly in distributed systems and Web.

I don't like VSCode, but I wanted to agree that I use Discord and Slack in a browser tab and see very little reason to run them in their own exe.

Pretty much this.
