…but v8 is perfectly fine! I remember a lot of buzz about v8 being slow “because it’s electron” but it’s not slow. I use it on multiple laptops without any issues at all.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Electron, and I'd prefer it have remained a native app, but that alone wouldn't be enough for me to jump ship. And I'm not even claiming alternatives are better than v8; it's simply that v7 was much better, and I'm actively looking for alternatives.
