Didn't Teams move away from being an electron app a little while ago?

[–] qupada@fedia.io 24 points 4 months ago

You're correct, it did... to "Edge WebView2".

Aka, basically Microsoft's in-house version of election. A change, certainly. Just not really an improvement.

iirc, they changed to using the edge webview thing, which uses the remains of EdgeHTML, which is probably faster than electron.

Does it even matter if it's still hot garbage?

It does matter if the statement is “[This is] reskinned chrome.”

Is Electron the only framework built thereupon?

To me, it mattered quite a lot when WhatsApp dropped Electron. I can now keep it running all the time without feeling bad for my PC, even if just for rare times when I actually need it. I still think it's a hot garbage though.
