That's a very good point. Thank you for the comment! I'll mention it to my team and have that issue fixed. :) We are also currently beta testing a cross-platform IDE, so please stay tuned!

This. It's a piece of software yet nothing on the homepage even shows it!

What Java apps became popular, other than Minecraft? The only things that got used were tools from companies like Cisco and IBM which everyone detested using. People still complain about Java.

How about JetBrains’s entire suite of IDEs? They are Java (well, now probably mostly Kotlin, but still JVM) based and cross-platform and as a user of those and previously Vi/Emacs for three decades I can say totally belong in my toolkit.

Totally forgot about that one. Eclipse scarred me for life on Java-based IDE's

Tried this for a few minutes at work (very heavy SQL Server shop). It doesn't play well with databases that have different schemas but the same table name.

schema1.users

10 or 15 years ago, people releasing desktop apps built on Java endured the same negativity. Meanwhile customers happily used the apps without caring about what tech was used because the apps solved problems for them. Likewise these days with Electron. If you app solves a real problem, people will use it regardless of the tech you use.

> Meanwhile customers happily used the apps without caring about what tech was used People didn't care what tech was used and still do not care, but they do care if the programs are slow and resource hogs. Note that thanks to all those Java apps at the past, Java still to this day has a very negative image about being slow regardless of how true that is (especially among people who do not know enough to judge its per…

> That doesn't mean people will like using it.

It is easy to assume that from the vantage point of being a developer and being able to notice an app that is native vs. something like electron. But for most users and even a lot of developers, they won't notice as long as the app functions.

I work on a team that encompasses both Tech and Business Associates and all the non-tech people love slack, and have no complaints about the app itself. Hackernews loves to get on its high horse and complain about electron and so many other trends, but as us developers love to forget, we are rarely the target audience for the apps in which we create.
