Idk, and I'm not saying it's not a good question, but it's irrelevant to the comparison in OP's comment.
- voidUpdate 6mo agoUsing an entire javascript runtime and framework to make your OS start menu is using a ridiculous overpowered electric screwdriver that strips heads. Using native windows controls is using a proper manual screwdriver that just works
- serf 6mo agoit's also just a numbers thing. react and more broadly JS developers are a dime-a-dozen as far as availability goes compared to winapi folks. which on one hand, good -- fuck microsoft and the monolith; on the other hand we get react start menus when we have to use microsoft.
