I understand your frustration. One thing I'd like to mention is that a comment similar to your comment is frequently mentioned in any HN post about typical frontend/JavaScript topics. So frequently, that I'm not sure what it adds to the discussion at this point.

It's possible you are not aware of that and just wanted to let you know.

I appreciate the way you relayed this. My intention wasn't to troll or beat a dead horse.

I think a lot of us are spending too much time troubleshooting dependency nightmares versus actually solving problems for our clients/employers.

The popularity of projects like Laravel Mix indicate that there may be a problem grokking all this stuff.

Honestly I think it's just a meme at this point. Don't fight it. Just mention something about Electron being bloated and rake in that sweet sweet karma.

Hey, has anyone else noticed how bloated Electron is? I bet it's all those rootin tootin NPM packages!
