People being triggered by the sheer existence of Electron – it just HAS to be "shitty", even if it works perfectly fine.

I can appreciate the functionality, but cannot really call an application "good" if it eats up more than half a gigabyte of RAM while being something as simple as a messenger.

Also there are better solutions if you want to have your UI in HTML nowadays. You don’t need to embed a whole web browser in each app.

Something like tauri does, by using the OS web engine, so the apps can be a few KB (depending on the code of course).
