    To be even more controversial, I’d say Electron has had a big positive impact on getting critical applications people want onto Linux. If devs had to make a dedicated app for Linux it either wouldn’t exist or be extremely dumbed down with lagging updates.

      You’re right and you should say it.

      People meme on electron, and I think most of it is deserved, but it does make a lot of stuff way easier for devs, and that means more software for users. There’s a reason it’s so popular.
