    Mhm… Install 300mb once to run any Java application or 300mb for each and every electron app.

    Its an easy choice.

      As if the Java app won’t be even uglier than electron and still weigh in at 300 mb for each. Not to mention introducing security issues on your machine with the jre

      There’s a reason people stopped making consumer apps in Java

        Uglier? Debatable as there are different UI Toolkits that can actually look beautiful and you don’t have to reimplement controls like you would in an electron app.

        And you certainly wouldn’t introduce new security issues with different and outdated v8 engines that are bundled with your electron app, no sir.
