Fuck electron, fuck "web first" apps, fuck the "all application in the future will be websites" mentality.
The sad reality of the end of Windows dominance.
Proton proves that you don't need to run on a web browser for cross platform compatibility. Turing-complete platforms are equivalent in their capabilities, it's just a matter of adding a translation layer that doesn't need to be as heavy as a browser DOM (at least for going between windows and Linux on x64).
I get what you are saying and this is definitely a factor but I think the bigger influencer was mobile adoption. As soon as smartphones took off it was inevitable that we would see a surge in cross platform frameworks/libraries.
The fact we tackled this problem by shifting everything to web apps was also inevitable given the more simplistic deployment requirements and maintenance costs of a website vs native application.
I feel like I am shouting to the void when I talk about performance of modern software being unbelievably bad.
Yeah, I can see how it ended up like that, and it would at least be nice if Windows accepted that and had one copy of the browser rather than every app installing it's own just in case of breaking changes.
And it would also be really nice if it only clogged the system for when it needs to show a UI, but I've got a ton of background processes that are also running a browser just in case today is the day that I finally need to see them. Just looking down task manager now at some suspect large processes, I can see a Razer "mouse driver", Epic, Discord, Steam, Nvidia, Oculus, NordVPN, Signal...
None of these things need to be running a browser while I'm not looking at them.
But hey, lets throw another 32GB of RAM in there, and another dozen cores, and maybe we can achieve the dream of running each of them all in their own fucking operating system as well...
Man, they really developed the most unfun layout system and then tried to force it to everyone
