For a lot of people the main advantage of electron was just being able to use the webdev stack for a desktop app. Tauri makes it less portable but is less bloated. Different tradeofs I guess.

Also: I think it’s kinda funny that Tauri is basically a very straightforward of example of trading developer comfort for benefit of the user, and you can’t imagine people using it.

It's not for the benefit of the user when you get dozens of issues in Github because webkit-gtk or WebView2 changed something.

If you stick to good old HTML5 with CSS3, without cutting edge Blink-only features, you should be safe.

Indeed. It's sacrifices engineering cost for customer experience.

I have never seen a Tauri app that was significantly less bloated than Electron. Can you share any?

The bundle size is, by definition, much smaller as it doesn't include the browser engine.
