I hate to say it, but I agree - I dislike the number of Electron apps I have to use, however...

I spent a few hours last night on a personal project trying to get something relatively simple working as a SwiftUI macOS app. I needed to customise a bunch of components to get it close to what I wanted.

I decided to give Electron a go, and had what I wanted up and running quite literally in 5 minutes, and it starts and is responsive within 500ms. It's taken longer to figure out how to ship it as a .app package than to write the code. That's nothing short of amazing.
