> The solution is simple: ship your fucking dependencies.
And then you get Electron, and people start complaining about the fact that you ship all your dependencies instead of using the dependencies that are already there.

I mean there’s always someone who complains about something. But if Electron apps had a large folder of binaries but it was super fast and responsive that would eliminate the vast majority of complaints.
electron isn't laggy or slow, the app might be because it's poorly written. There are fast electron apps!
The complaint about electron i hear the most are 1) the memory footprint - each instance of electron takes up at least a gig of ram. 2) the browser is duplicated, and cannot be upgraded independently (but i argue that is the point of electron). The third, but irrelevant complaint is from people on high horses talking about wanting native apps, and look down on html based apps.
