The problem is there is not really any alternatives when it comes to making something that actually looks good. Im sure someone will tell me how you can rice out some gui lib but thats not the same.

The problem is that webfags think they can dictate what looks good, while in reality native applications look best to non-autismos
What's more important is that the feel is more important than looks and that's where electron falls short
