Is Electron a temporary thing until Apple improves SwiftUI on macOS?
Interesting question from Jason Snell in episode 366 of the Upgrade podcast on Relay FM:
Is using Electron on macOS a temporary thing until Apple has improved SwiftUI on macOS?
If so, how long ...

5 years agoJust like people prefer Slack to HipChat it is often not the minute details that make a difference but the overall experience.
Terrible analogy. Slack is a horrible, horrible experience, the poster child for open protocols that let people use whatever client they want being replaced by horrible proprietary webapps where the app maker owns your data. HipChat sucked too but at least it wasn't slack.
I understand that the SwiftUI thing didn't work out but why throw out something you had that was good for something else that by all accounts is dramatically worse? Would it really be that much extra work to keep maintaining the AppKit version until SwiftUI is more mature? You claim to want to create the best possible experience, it's pretty obvious at this point that you're not going to achieve that with an electron app.
