Electron packages web apps as native desktop applications. Powers VS Code, Slack, Discord, and hundreds of other desktop apps. Criticized for memory usage.
Reviewer scorecard
“One tool replacing Prettier + ESLint with massively better performance. The migration from existing configs is smooth.”
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
