You're actually just making my argument for me. I seriously think you need to take the blinders off. Sure Electron can be useful, but it often leads to bloat-ware. It's probably appropriate for small/medium teams consisting primarily of web developers who need to develop something for internal use or for a small user base.

For software being developed by large enterprises who could easily find the talent with the necessary experience in technologies that are orders of magnitude more performant, than there is just no reason for it. Go ahead and feel free to have the last word if you must, but a) I think you are wrong and b) I won't be responding any further. Have a nice day.

if this were the case there would be hundreds of apps running over Electron and being used by thousands of users.

as I have already answered for the @sergix above:

It is not enough to have money, you need to have a huge human capital qualified to create an open source project such as electron, atom or vscode in closed code.

if a large company like Github or Microsoft does not have or is unwilling to invest in human capital it needs to invest in languages and platforms that are more popular and accessible to the open source community.

did you understand?

dear friend, if you want to get out discussion all right, but don't need to try using a pigeon chess.

please be polite and at least reserve my right of reply, after all, this is a discussion and not a competition of those who give the last word, as the @fronkan wrote above:

I think this question as stated is good for discussion though but it will, in the end, be subjective

don't get me wrong, case I'm wrong I'd be happy to ❤️ your opinion.

sorry if i was too incisive, have a good day too.
