I’m a web developer but is there no concept of classes, libraries, etc in other programming languages?
What happened to writing the “core” of an app that doesn’t rely on UI then simply writing the front ends for each platform you want to support?
You keep saying Electron is used for better compatibility and listing out Linux, Windows, macOS but here’s the thing — most companies are only targeting those. That’s just three (if you don’t write for a million desktops on Linux).
Is it really so hard to support just three environments with only the UI being tailored for the OS it’s running on?
Honestly, it just feels like poor tooling and a poor excuse.
