I used to use linux desktop since 2012(ish) and I remember the time when most of my apps were Windows and Mac only! As a broke university student, I could not afford to upgrade to a Mac just to use some tools!

Electron has made me forget those days! Today, most of the tools I use are available on all platforms and while they do take up a lot more ram and disk space - both are generally things I can buy and fit on my computer and will be supported out of the box but not having those apps won't.

I know it's great to hate Electron because of how much ram and disk space it takes, but for those few on Linux, it's truly made life easy!
