I really get sick of people shitting on Electron just because it's the hip thing to do or whatever.

Umbrella Note is a whopping 78mb versus Evernote at 129mb. I'm not sure "another copy of Chromium" is a big deal. I'm not sure what you're talking about in regards to the bloated markup. Are you referring to HTML and CSS? I'm also not really of the opinion that a simple note taking app needs to be multithreaded. This would increase complexity in any language.

My first thought when looking at this project wasn't "oh no Electron!" My first thought was "I could actually contribute to this project," because I, like many many others, use and understand what is likely the most prevalent programming language in the world.

This sounds very much like a comment I saw where a person said that they thought most atheists were only on board a bandwagon because it was hip. How terribly offensive.

Some people genuinely dislike certain projects and have no interest in being hip when they say so.

Electron has its place as a framework. Blindly disliking every single project that uses it is silly, and I really don't mind offending anyone who does so.
