Wherever I see a discussion about ElectronJS, see people being wrong. On the Internet! Wrong! Since I keep seeing the same and same points pop up, I've written both words and code to clear up the most common misconceptions. As an open source project, Electron never had to pitch. It's not like we'd make money off "another sale". I never took the time to write up the arguments for Electron. Why use web tech? Why bundle Chromium? Why Electron? The answer is now available at https://lnkd.in/gmBbpj9W. But: People are wrong about very specific things. Below are the four that bother me the most—and if you like that in a single post, check out https://lnkd.in/gdx6qkvu ? Electron doesn't pit JavaScript against native code. Its superpower is that you can mix and match both native and web technologies. To show code, I've built examples using SwiftUI, GTK, Win32 Common Controls in Swift, ObjC, ObjC++, and C++: https://lnkd.in/gznMXCnQ ? Web tech is *amazing* at displaying data and UI. The Bloomberg Terminal, a system found at every financial institution, is written with JS/HTML and Chromium. It costs $25,000 per user, per year. The SpaceX’s Dragon 2 space capsule uses Chromium to display its interface. ? Electron doesn't bundle Chromium because it somehow missed that operating systems come with built-in WebViews. It bundles Chromium because it's today's best stack for rendering web apps in a reliable, performant, secure, and stable way. ? Bundle size does not matter to users. One hour of 4k Netflix ~7 GB, a typical Call of Duty update regularly clocks in more than 300 GB. I have not seen end users care about binary size in the 100s of MB more than they do about virtually anything else your engineering team could spend time on.
