Hi, Felix here - I'm responsible for said Electron app, including Claude Code Desktop and Claude Cowork.

All technology choices are about trade-offs, and while our desktop app does actually include a decent amount of Rust, Swift, and Go, but I understand the question - it comes up a lot. Why use web technologies at all? And why ship your own engine? I've written a long-form version of answers to those questions here: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/why-electron

To us, Electron is just a tool. We co-maintain it with a bunch of excellent other people but we're not precious about it - we might choose something different in the future.

Let’s ignore electron. Your app has many UI/UX and performance flaws.

If as your CEO says “coding is largely solved”, why is this the case?

Or is your CEO wrong and coding is not largely solved?

What kind of project lead is going to answer for their CEO?

APP BAD!

If coding SOLVED HOW COME APP BAD.

The point is exactly that, by having a code that's completely AI driven would eliminate all trade offs that could lead you to electron.
