@andrewt What's less bad: an application built as a Chromium instance, or a native application that ends up unavailable to most users because Linux and Windows don't implement the Cocoa API of macOS?

@PinoBatch I mean yes, cross-platform releases are a great thing — but the day before Electron came out we already had the JVM and .NET/Mono so I'm not sure what Electron contributed there except that now we can make our cross-platform apps in a language with no native support for integers, with UIs that diverge wildly from the native OS conventions
