Ok fair enough, I get what you&#x27;re saying.<p>My point is that tools like Electron are actually making it harder to do fast and multi-threaded code on desktop compared to other (native) options. So in that sense Electron&#x27;s just as &quot;bad&quot; as PhoneGap on a mobile device: it actively hinders developers that want to build decently performing applications.<p>This even happens with applications that are considered &quot;toy&quot; in this thread like Atom: Performance is really much worse than other editors like Sublime or TextMate.
