> 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…

People may say they love using Slack, but they certainly wont like their computers being slower and/or their laptop's batteries draining. And they wont blame Slack or any other Electron application for that, largely because they do not know why that happens! They'll blame their computer, perhaps Apple/Microsoft, their luck or whatever, but they do not have enough knowledge to judge Slack or any other misbehaving application unless the application makes it crystal clear that it is the reason.

It is up to the techies and developers to point out why that happens as they are the ones who have the necessary knowledge to figure out what is wrong. You cannot rely on users to figure out that stuff.

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!

It's hard to find information on this marketing website. Here is a summary gathered from the comments : - It's for windows - It's not open source - They plan to build a cross-platform IDE using Electron I think we have solid alternative in the open source world and I don't really see how this product is better (This is based on the information provided by the website).

What is the open source alternative?

But why is it terrible? Just because it's a bulky, but cross-platform solution?

It uses ridiculous amounts of resources, introduces security issues (when you remove a bunch of the sandboxing a browser does, but then still execute content that comes from the web, bad things are gonna happen), and generally the apps don't conform to any desktop norms for any platform.

This is supposed to be a full-fledged IDE. Those tend to be resource hungry anyways.

Plus the interface is looking pretty straightforward and native to me - no bootstrap-ish/whatever website-looking-thing shenanigans disguised as a native application.

Played with that a bit a few days ago.

It's not going to replace the DB tools in intellij (which are basically DataGrip) but for nearly all my use cases it could.

It's really decent.

Why does this look so much like IntelliJ with SQL plugin :/

FWIW, JetBrains has an IDE for SQL things. https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/?fromMenu (I've no affiliation with JetBrains).

Doesn't this look exactly same to you?

Been using Data Grip as my regular database client for a couple of years, very happy.
