Electron, while everyone is trying hard to make the web as fast as native, Electron took a revolutionary idea, let's make the native as slow as the web. Instead of making things simple removing unnecesary layers, let's add more. What I want to see is a desktop "app" (I'm using the term with all the disdain I possess) that generates an React or Angular webapps or maybe other Electron "apps", that would be glorious. Just 1 step closer to the dream of OS written entirely in JS, Freddy Krueger would be proud.
