You don't want "bloated" frameworks to be used or you don't want to install NPM/Node/etc. on your system?
I'm asking because my app is based on Electron, but it doesn't require you to install anything in particular in your system to use it.
My dislike isn't so much with the final app, but more related to the ability to rebuild an open source project. If I want to make modifications, there is a lot of additional stuff I would have to install. I just don't use node, npm, code mirror, electron, etc. The argument could be made that installing Java and the libraries I need would produce the same kind of clutter, but that hasn't been my experience.
I think it's a matter of differing tastes and I have the luxury to indulge myself.
I do want to thank you for putting your work out there though. It is always interesting to me to see how people approach these projects.
