Unless you’ve been living under a rock for
the past 5 years,chances are you have used
an Electron-based application at least once
in your life.
I have never used an Electron app because all my needs are covered by termial applications, Firefox, LibreOffice and Gimp.
Which rock do I live under?
"Living under a rock" is an idiom used to describe one who is/has been cut off from the mainstream.
> Which rock do I live under?
The rock of literally never having used any of the ubiquitous communications tools built on Electron (Discord, Slack, Teams off the top of my head), or any of the very popular^[1] code editors built on it, or any of the countless other applications that use it.
I'm sure you get your work done just fine, and this is not a value judgment. It's just an observation that, at least in the set of people likely to read (or "read") this article, you are a member of a (presumably) small and ever-shrinking class. Electron is everywhere.
