Wow this is about as cynical as it’s possible to be about real, tangible technological progress.

I strongly disagree with the authors conclusions about the technologies and the premise.

This is truly peak HN content.

I have no real opinion on MongoDB or React, but Electron is technological regress, not progress. Any software made with it is at best mediocre, and more often terrible. The author is quite right to criticize it.

I love VS Code!

This seems almost tailor-made to be HN bait.

No, it can still be more cynical.
