Does your context menu appear outside of whatever app you're using? Congratulations, that's a real program designed for computers!

Does your context menu vanish inside the borders of the window, or otherwise do some cute shit like shifting the context menu to the other side of your cursor? That's not a program, that's a website wearing a fake mustache.

If a context menu ye see,
a real program she be.
 
If near the borders it's gone,
ye be cursed by Electron.

There's an official remote package that makes it work sort of like it did prior to v14, but still there are various small differences between how menus work on Win/Mac/Linux. Having used it, I can sort of see why people would go for a fake-ass menu instead.

nheko is definetly a qt program and not an electron program, the weird thing with it is that it still keeps trying to fit the context menu in the window even though it does work outside, it needs just the right position to make it go off the bottom of the window slightly

I appreciate the tip, but I don't understand the moral panic.

If you dislike an app, you don't need to justify your dislike. If you like an app, surely it doesn't matter what it was built with.

I'm aware of how Electron works. Also, to be clear "I don't like this app because it's bloated" is perfectly valid criticism.

My position is that "I don't like this app because it's bloated because it uses Electron" sounds weird to me. Is bloatware that doesn't use Electron categorically better that bloatware that does? Would finding out that an app you hated (because you thought it used Electron) was built with native tools change your opinion of that app?
