I agree about electron. Its a full bootstrapped bloated chrome with electron. I don't know what is problem with frontend devs? Probably lack of knowledge and lack of knowledge of computer architecture. I mean not understanding how bad and wasteful that platform is.

As a viable alternate librarby for creating desktop web based apps I can recommend NW.js Gitter use it and its pretty stable. And far less resources wasted.

Yeah but it do not bootstrap the whole chorine and v8 only one library it's much faster and much less memory needed.
