> This is exciting news, but in the world of Electron apps I do wonder if it is not too late already.

You're acting like the whole desktop app industry has moved to implementing desktop apps in HTML with Electron.

Fortunately for users this assertion is false, given how shitty most Electron apps are usability and performance wise (VSCode being the only exception).

The performance problems with electron are widely known, but I rarely see anyone complain about electron usability? Surely that's got nothing to do with the underlying technology?
