For those that agree with this, I have a simple question.<p>If not Electron, how should one build a desktop app for Windows today? It seems the correct way is to use .NET and WPF if you want to take Microsoft&#x27;s word for it. I&#x27;ve done this and it&#x27;s installed on on 100k+ machines. In my experience, WPF is horrifically slow for users and uses just as much or more memory than Electron.<p>With that in mind, I don&#x27;t really see how Electron has any downsides at least on Windows, and has plenty of upsides: build apps that respond to input much faster using a more familiar set of tools (JS, HTML, CSS). No .NET dependency that makes the install process a nightmare. No need for a custom update component (always very complicated, even for a super simple one) since Electron can just load remote resources. No need to worry about Admin privileges. Better support for monitor densities. Much better text rendering. So many things. I think Electron is saving Windows desktop app development, not killing it.
