I hate when people bring up VS Code in defense of electron. It is basically the one application built in electron that isn't obviously significantly worse because of it. And it's because it is backed by a trillion dollar company that can afford to invest the time to fix the electron limitations for their project. No other app built in electron is even remotely close to VS Code, which is still noticeably bad in performance when compared to native editors.
I use Electron based apps, because they are part of the job, refusing them means looking for another job, which in the current world status is kind of not really what I want to do.
The path to sucess is a very tortuous one full of victims.
