> The web is the cross platform that runs everywhere (as in in a browser or webview).

I understand that argument but 100% disagree. Development is horrible, it's anything but standard, comes with a lot of baggage, the performance is atrocious. It doesn't even run anywhere, it runs in a browser. A huge, bloated, hungry browser.

You say Electron is not ideal, I say it's the worst thing that had happened to desktop computers ever. It's bad for the planet too. Some argue that without "js on desktop" we wouldn't have these amazing apps. I think it's not worth it to have those apps if they are built using those technologies. They make me miserable every single day. It's the only thing that forces me to upgrade my computer. It's so bad. Things that were possible 20 years ago are suddenly an unachievable goal. Stop it.
