Which exact experience with using an electron app are you talking about that some people don't like? The size or memory usage? I get that some people like to run multiple apps at the same time and are running out of memory, but I think many other apps use more memory than Electron based apps. Of course trying to reduce the memory footprint of an app is always a good thing, so that's indeed a trade-off.

Hi, actual third world person reporting from the third world.

Most of our machines have no SSD and 8GB RAM on a laptop is a luxury. You can buy brand new Celeron machines like it's 1998. Windows 10 runs like shit and Windows 11 is basically a slideshow. Electron apps are the bane of our existence.

I'm not speaking of anything specific. Clearly enough people dislike the experience enough to avoid using apps based on it altogether. That's not my view or experience of electron apps broadly, but I'm single user on a specific setup. My point is less about specific criticisms of electron and more about the fact that dismissing people's experiences with it doesn't really do anything to win those folks over.
