>I remember the horrible Java applets and I am thankful that I pretty much never encounter any of them these days.)

Yeah, yay for progress and horrible Electron apps..

Electron apps are not really relevant when talking about Java applets. Java applets embed in the browser, so compare Java applets with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and WebAssembly.

I much prefer the latter (HTML5 + CSS3 + JS + WebAsm).
