That Electron is an unpleasant experience and is a resource pig that makes Java look svelte? No, that is not misinformation.

That AgileBits has been doing everything it can to force people to the subscription model and that this push to subscriptions very coincidentally lines up with two rounds of VC investment for over $300M over the past couple of years? No, that is not misinformation.

It may have been easier for the dev team to use Electron as their cross-platform toolkit, it is not easier for the users to put up with the attendant bloat and reduced performance.

The ones who should stop spreading misinformation regarding the forced subscription all seem to be working for AgileBits.
