Electron apps are perhaps faster and cheaper to make than native desktop GUI apps for most organizations because they already have Web developers, but I've never heard anyone claim they're "better" than native, if that's what you're saying. Do you mean they're somehow better for the end user? If so, how?
- dannyw 5y agoBetter compatibility. I have a machine that still runs Windows 7; and electron apps rarely have issues. Many native apps no longer work on my OS.
- blub 5y agoMalware's backwards compatible with Windows 7. In fact it gets better and better the more time passes.
- speedgoose 5y agoYes I was more thinking about development. Faster and cheaper development is the key. Development teams can focus more on the user experience and the features. You also get a good application on all platforms, GNU/Linux, Windows, and Mac which is nice and used to not be the case.
