I’m envy? I’m hoping for a native GUI application for Linux.
Electron looks ugly, it doesn’t integrate, fails to handle HiDPI usually, in best case it eats a ridiculous amount of memory (factor 5x compared to native) and in worst case it has security issues due to Blink and lot of JS.
The person being replied to was talking about technical aspects similar between the two (functionality like HiDPI and performance) while you're mentioning socially-oriented differences. I would say both statements are true but that what the authors of each statement value is different.
Writing it is just like Flash is a statement that Electron should be dropped and never used by anyone.
Which I disagree with and provide my argument to show that any technical inconveniences parent poster noted, are not enough to say “Electron should be trashed and razed out”.

Electron is Flash for the Desktop.
