s/is cancer/is an awful framework that significantly and irreparably degrades user experience, stability and performance of any application written with it/g
I find the term to be quite fitting here. The use has spread to an absurd degree, meaning that there is a large change that everyone is running one or more instances of this framework at any given time, and use of this framework not only harms UX, but also brings down the machine it runs on through resource consumption. Well, maybe "pandemic disease" is better than "cancer".
When everything uses something like Electron, you the ability to simple chose to avoid it. Like a disease, Electron is that you involuntarily get subjected to, and as such, would prefer to see eradicated.
(And yes, yes, we should improve the experience of making cross-platform native apps, but due to Electron, no one is even trying anymore outside of mobile.)
