Not following that last statement. There's no guarantee if I build my desktop application with XYZ framework that some technological limitation will crop up with it. How much emphasis is being placed on JavaFX/Swing/AWT these days. Not so much. WPF? Microsoft has said that "...we are not investing in any major changes to WPF" There is so much effort being placed in HTML/JS optimizations by WK, Blink, Edge folks that it's hard to find another framework with as much emphasis placed on it. |

* Lack of data ownership, how do you export/backup?
* Poor keyboard shortcut support, e.g., constant conflicts between the browser itself and the app being run in the browser
With Electron based apps:
* Performance obviously, this might get better in the future, but that's a big bet of your time investment in learning and building on the tool. The fact that Atom is slow on a top-of-the-line machine is concerning. Sure that'll improve in time, but what if I also want to run it on more constrained device, tablets, etc...
* Electron apps still have a long ways to go to support basic platform expectations, e.g., on OS X Atom doesn't Services, AppleScript, or piping to the command line utility.
