Well, yes and no. I think there would be no Electron Apps if the native desktop sdk/api/frameworks wouldn’t be garbage.
On Windows it’s a total mess, Win32/WPF/UWP and now what ever their fancy is (I think it’s Win32 again?).
Linux the same, so many differ ent things like kde/gnome or whatever. I think without electron there wouldn’t even be many nativ apps for Linux. And MacOS? Well can’t really say anything here because last time I tried doing some native development there, XCode was just too horrible and I stopped. Maybe Cocoa/SwiftUi is ok, I don’t know.
For me it’s like we replaced garbage with other garbage. The one garbage is for developers and the other for end users. I think most end users doesn’t even care, like what’s apple script? I just want to listen to music. I also think the majority of people doesn’t even have a printer anymore?
So the benefits of native apps are just for a small fraction of users. I would love to see more native apps but I understand why developers choose not to do it.
