Reviewer scorecard
“Ship desktop apps with your web stack. VS Code proves Electron apps can be fast with the right engineering.”
“Memory hog that bundles a full Chrome instance. Tauri is the modern alternative with 10x smaller bundles.”
“Tauri and native solutions are the future for desktop apps. Electron was necessary but its era is ending.”
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“Fast, reliable, and the docs are actually good. Ship.”
