The basic premise for this entire blog post is that people who use electron don't know that lower level technologies exist.
FTA: It turns out modern operating systems already have nice, fast UI libraries. So use them you clod!
FTA: Also all you web devs: Go learn C or Rust or something.
So yes, this is in-fact an ad-hominem attack. There's a certain type of person who rehashes this old stupid argument. A few years ago they'd berate you for using a LAMP stack to set up your clients wordpress blog. A couple years ago they'd give you shit for using Node on the server and not being a "real" developer.
Point being, if the author of this blog post resonates with you - I can guarantee you with a high degree of certainty that I can fit your world view in a tiny little box.
