The most infuriating response to this is “the programs are doing so much these days!” Well, yes, a chat app might do emoji and stuff now. But it’s certainly not doing 1000x the number of things…

Yes! And a lot of those things are pointless, buggy busywork for the project managers involved. I’d rather well designed, minimal, fast, intuitive software with not many features over something like Xcode - packed full of buggy features that lag or crash the whole ide regularly. Polish is unsexy, but usually way more important than we give it credit for.
As they said at Zynga, move slow and fix your shit.
Well, if the chat app is implemented in Electron it has to load a fully-fledged browser before even starting to load.
Which is clearly not a “feature” I want.
Why not? You can now have all browser vulnerabilities directly in your chat app!
