I fully agree with this. Electron is hated here as if it was the source of all evil. When Electron came (and node-webkit as well), there were very limited options to create fully cross-platform apps easily. I tried multiple ways (including Qt) but it was very cumbersome and slow to progress. With Electron not only was I able to create a usefull app quickly, I could reuse almost all the code on web. Ok, it takes space and consume memory inefficiently, but thanks to Electron a lot of useful apps exist that otherwise wouldn't or would be much worse. Today Tauri or something else might be better choice, but hating electron seems really out of place.

I dunk on electron, but it’s a love-hate sort of thing. There’s some great apps out there due to electron. VSCode is great. This http server is well done and looks handy!

Personally though I’m just greedy. I want the best of QT and Electron. Figuro is my attempt at realizing that. ;)

That's nice. Does it use the native components, or are you rendering that all lower level?
