No end consumers I know or even acquaintances of other people I know even know nor care about Electron. You might say that I'm in a bubble but at that point it's just the No True Scotsman fallacy.


Literally all of my acquaintances in previous company complained about Teams being slow and buggy. I also see it constantly being mentioned online.


You can make slow & buggy software anywhere, with any stack. Teams themselves shipped a whole release focused around sucking significantly less & were getting much faster.

Discord has gotten pretty solid, vscode is spit fast. The hate against Electron feels so selective & antagonistic, picks it's targets, never acknowledged any value, never recognizes any points for the other side. It is just incredibly lopsidedly biased. Over what doesn't feel real to so many.

I was hoping Tauri would be the one, by using a shared library model. That would drop memory consumption down significantly. But they use webkit on Linux and I'm sorry but I want a much better base that supports more modern capabilities.


They don't know how it's called, they still hate when they are forced to use slow applications.
