I am a web developer, I know that might be a dirty title in some circle but I really don't care. There are countless amazing things built on technology that people hate for whatever reason. PHP, JavaScript, and even Flash comes to mind. Guess what wins in the end? The thing that gets the job done quickest and easiest. It's one thing I really dislike about HN, the need to let everyone else know how terrible their decisions are because they didn't go as low level as the person posting the comment. "Oh you used PHP? Real programmers use C++" "Oh you used C++? Real programmers use C" "Oh you used C? Real programmers use assembly" "Oh you used assembly on a CPU? Real programmers design and build their own FPGA's for their code". Nothing is forcing you to use things built in electron so if it's so terrible then don't use it and move on with your life.
