  • Honestly, I am always appalled by most “pop”-tech journalists like these. They either just repost the tech specs with the least nuance known to mankind, or they make absurd assumptions by having weird expectations (i.e: the infamous Cuphead review) going in. Seems like in this case it is both!

    I attribute this to the much centralisation that completely deformed the internet, and a totalitarian attitude to criticism by critics (hypotactic, isn’t it?) they remove and/or make it very hard to have a discussion on their articles.

    Back before much of this centralisation of the internet, low-effort popcorn reviews like these would be absolutely panned in the very visible comment section. Also, shitty editorialised titles (which by the way usually aren’t even by the author) like these were not as prevalent without massive scrutiny.

    It’s like the other comments are living in a parallel universe.

    What part of the article did they actually read? Isn’t the Slack/Electron resource utilisation screenshot enough to prove an important point?

    No, Electron-based applications are not better than “they used to be.”

    We all fucking know why Electron got all of these companies interested in making applications with it: cheap, probably imported labour to build applications. That’s it. And no, it is not better “DX” either. NPM and the NodeJS ecosystem in general are toxic and unsustainable for larger applications.
