For sure, all software is chock full of "best? no/works? yes" compromises. I object to the article framing of "I couldn't figure it out, therefore TextKit 2 does not play well with anything modern", which is a very silly conclusion.

Agreed, but no such conclusion or framing was stated, supported, or suggested in my comment.

I was agreeing and providing more context to the costs of building at a higher level, like Electron, and the limits even when applied by a unified vendor with incentives for high performance.

I added the word "article" before the word "framing" to make it clearer in my comment supporting your comment that the last half of my comment wasn't commenting on your comment.
