> It adds a lot of value to Linux and to a lesser extent Mac users: before a electron a lot of apps didn't have a version for these platform at all.
I prefer web versions of those apps on Linux than electron.
Sorry, I want to run just one browser and it is not Chrome based one.
And for sure Electron apps don't allow that ease of cross platform development as one thinks, I would argue that it is on the same level as a native app with good abstraction library (see Telegram client source on github).
It is more that they don't want to hire desktop developers (or just ones that want to learn something else than JS).
