Electron apps are the new flash. They're a cross-platform apps that make it easy for developers, but results in non-standard applications that don't interact well with the system.

The problem is, they're becoming popular. Many apps that used to be built specifically for the Mac are moving to Electron, and I don't like it. For example:

• Skype
• Visual Studio Code
• Slack
• Atom

Now, kids, get off my lawn!
