Agreed. It's a fact of life that Electron will become increasingly popular. If every discussion of an app that uses Electron degenerates into snarky comments about Electron, the opportunity for a valuable conversation about the app itself is wasted. |

Very likely, perhaps, but it is not "a fact of life", especially in the long term -- Electron's popularity in the future is far from a decided fact. I think it has a very good shot at lasting a long time, but in this industry things often do not go the way you think they will.
If indeed "every discussion of an app that uses Electron degenerates into snarky comments about Electron" then maybe it is time to look seriously at problems with Electron. One of the best things about HN is that discussions about the technologies used to implement applications happen.
Now if someone comes into the conversation, snarks, and then is unwilling to engage in discussions about why they dislike the choice, that's a different matter.
I do think, however, that discussions about the technologies chosen by a developer to implement their application are worth having, even if they person starting the conversation is not terribly diplomatic about the way they start it. There does come a point (different for different people) where you decide a conversation is not worth having. I am merely suggesting that it could well be worth your time to not assume you've reached that point so early in the conversation.
