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.

Sure, I love it when a 50KB app takes 50MB because some cunt designer only knows HTML.

Who will be the next shining light to emerge now that Microsoft has become extremely entrenched?

Microsoft also make the one app that actually shines in electron: vs code. It's really quite optimised. But somehow they didn't bother learning lessons from that and keep rolling out terrible slop like teams and new outlook.

It's weird how one company can do things right and also be do incompetent at the same time.
