yeah yeah. It's bad. So big. So slow. So bloated; so... What's your alternative?

I don't see any meaningful suggestions in this article, just complaints.

You don't like how resource intensive electron apps are? Well, don't use them. If its really a big deal, people not using the apps will inform the people making the apps that they're bad.

That's not happening, so clearly it's not a big deal for most people.

Still... things could always be better in a perfect world.

Are you building desktop applications? What are you using for it then, and whats your cross platform perf story like? How long do cross platform releases take you? What are you paying for your tools and tooling?

The alternative mentioned in the article is React Native, which runs on iOS/Android/Ubuntu/OSX/Windows.

Another lightweight alternatives to Electron are: Mozilla Positron (https://github.com/mozilla/positron), Webkit for Android/Windows (https://github.com/daewoong-jang/webkit-android) and Qt Quick (https://www.qt.io/qt-quick/).
