> If you think something can be improved, and the cost of that improvement is justified by it's benefits, then you have a valid business idea. Stop wasting your time bashing Electron on your blog and start working on your idea, it could be the most important thing you have ever done and could make you rich and famous.

To be fair, preventing a small group of people from dumping disproportionally large externalities on everyone else, to extract a little extra profit for themselves, isn't a working business model. If it was, we would have solved global warming and ocean pollution by now.

Slow software in general, and Electron in particular, is a collective action problem. Solid, fast software gets outcompeted by half-assed bad engineering, because the latter can get to the market first.
