&gt; My point is that tools like Electron are actually making it harder to do fast and multi-threaded code on desktop<p>Absolutely. Electron is worse than native, I&#x27;d never disagree with that. But I don&#x27;t think people are looking at Electron and saying &quot;hmm, shall we do Electron or native?&quot;, they&#x27;re saying &quot;oh great, Electron means we can make a capable cross-platform desktop app, something we don&#x27;t have the time nor budget to do otherwise&quot;.
