You mean electron based apps? Yea I hate those. Discord, Slack are the worst. MS teams is cancer.
l personally don’t mind apps you can load through your favorite browser. Instant cross platform compatibility. I think there are some arbitrary connection limitations that make bandwidth or latency intensive apps less than ideal though.

There’s some web-based technologies that work better than Electron. React Native for desktop works pretty well and uses native UI widgets, but unfortunately there’s no Linux version (just Windows and MacOS).

good lord I can shittalk ms teams for days on end
technical architecture problems aside,
one of the smaller issues that has verifiably taken years off my life is how it decides to alert you with messages
coworker in the misc channel: anyone know how to fix a lawnmower?
ms teams: HOLY SHIT. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. YOU HAVE A MESSAGE. CHECK YOUR GODDAMN INBOX ASAP MOTHERFUCKER. DING DING DING
manager: call me urgently.
ms-teams: lmao who said that
I keep getting emails from Teams saying I missed a message I’d read three hours ago
Palm Pre figured this shit out years ago.
Tell me more

ChromeOS changed that approach years ago. That’s how Steam is available: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439

But the world changed and applications in ChromeOS aren’t solely browser applets any longer.

So you made a random off-topic comment. Got it. That’s certainly one way to deal with having been wrong in the actual context of the post.
