Electron apps cannot be submitted to the Apple store
As a user I am glad. As is custom for all Electron discussions, someone must point out its flaws. Why the dislike, you ask? A picture is worth a thousand 64-bit words:<p><a href="https://imgur.com/a/XnCOHUD" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/XnCOHUD</a><p>And mind you, GitHub Desktop is taking that much <i>just for showing a mostly empty window!</i> while Fork and Tower are displaying a lot more UI, more controls, trees, custom drawing, more text, and have overall more features (best of all: spell checking for commit messages because all native text fields get it for free.) You can try it on your own machine and compare them.<p>Now yes Electron has made life very easy for some developers and some apps wouldn't even exist if not for Electron, but why, as a user, should I pick an Electron app over native alternatives?
