The problem I see with Electron (and probably one of the reasons HN hates it) is that it leverages the advances in chip making to work as well as an app from 20 years ago, but is multi platform.
It is a huge productivity boost for programmers at the expense of making computers slow. On my work computer I am used to run many apps, and with each Electron app added I feel it slowing down. (latest one to switch was Skype for me). What is the point of having such powerful computers when they feel like slugs crawling through a bog?
