A counterpoint that I saw:
posts like this disregard the sheer complexity of modern software, you can hate electron all you want, but it's quite nice from a business standpoint being able to create native software quickly
It's a good steelman - I'd say that whether "nice from a business standpoint" influences something's merit is subject to one's goals and worldview. I forwarded it from my perspective as a "computer user" who views software development as an art and my personal computing resources as precious. My perspective is niche, but not invalid.
