"Electron.Js Is really good for Developing Cross platform Desktop Application."

4/5

What do you like best about Electron?

I am a JavaScript developer mostly worked with react and node. My team was assigned to developed a Desktop application and after doing reasearch we settled down for Electron.js.

Reason:-

1. It's JS library so, i dont have to learn new language( and it uses HTML and css for the Skelton and designing). I started very quickly. so, if you are a JS developer then easily go with Electron for Desktop App.

2. Some big applications are running on it. Example:- Slack, Microsoft Team, VS code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Electron?

Developing Application with Electron is very joyful but it has it's downside and Some of the downside are:-

1. Extensive Download Size.

2. Big Memory Size required because each electron app lauch it's own chromium instance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
