> Here's the thing. You know what the alternative to all of these Electron apps coming out is? If your answer is "A native Cocoa/WPF app", you are on another planet, the answer is, "It wouldn't exist at all".

This comment is completely wrong. You know what Slack was before it was an Electron app? It was a Cocoa app. Sure, it wrapped a WebView, but given Slack's nature that's not a surprise. Regardless, the Cocoa Slack app, while not great, was still much better than the Electron crap we have now.

I don't know if you're simply ignorant of the fact that the app this article is focused on actually was a native desktop app before it switched to Electron, or if you're just ignoring that pretty important information in order to try and make your point, regardless of whether or not it's true.
