It disappoints me as well.<p>Electron apps don&#x27;t appear to play nice with the underlying API.<p>Take Spotify and Slack, for example.  It makes sense that it should expose its API via AppleScript (on Mac), COM (on Windows), and DBUS (on Linux).  These let you do neat things like, for example, use a PowerShell (or bash or AppleScript) script to update your Slack status to the name of the track that&#x27;s playing.<p>Whether you&#x27;d WANT that specific functionality or not is beside the point, the fact that the functionality exists means that people will do cool things with it.  More importantly, it means that people will do things the developer never thought of.
