Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.
the worst thing about electron apps besides everything about election apps are the fact that there’s no shared libraries so you basically have to have a billion of the same node modules on your system for every electron app that you have.

Today it took almost 30 seconds for the context menu to appear when I right clicked on a file in windows explorer. I mean ffs, if I wanted everything to be a browser, I’d use a chromebook.
(Inb4 “install linux”, it’s a work computer and I don’t get a say in OS)
Win 11 feels like i replaced by SSD with an HDD. I’m half convinced that they’re making it as awful as possible so when the whole OS as a service thing arrives, it’ll feel super snappy.

Yes. Can you send me the link to your onlyfans?
The next step in app delivery is shipping a full VM with the operating system and the app.
Docker?
So no more UWP apps? Ok, I thought those were supposed to be the future but whatever…
UWP ≠ Electron. UWP is a new environment inside of Windows with new APIs, but AFAIK is still native or at least much closer to it than electron.
My point was exactly that; if Electron apps are encouraged by Microslop they’re at least partially giving up on their push for UWP apps
