We hate electron apps because native apps are much faster

But Java/Kotlin is not native. Before electron, we hated Java apps because native apps are much faster

I develop in Pascal and Kotlin. When I had a laptop without SSD, Jetbrains IDE would take almost 30 minutes to start, while the Pascal native IDE could start in 30 seconds.




Yep. Lately, it seems like a lot of people think “native” means “not web technologies”. Way to many people think that Jetbrains apps are native because they are written in Java.
