As far as I'm concerned, the subscription model is an instant showstopper, just like web-based UIs.

Many of Philip K. Dick books and short stories, but Ubik and A Maze of Death are my favorites.

William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy (Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive)

Douglas N. Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Frank Herbert's Dune books

Theodore Sturgeon's More Than Human

Robert A. Heinlein - Citizen of the Galaxy

Robert Charles Wilson's Spin trilogy

Frederik Pohl's Heechee books

That's an overstatement of the century.

Even if it would be running natively, the statement'd be still highly debatable.

But it's Electron based and using TypeScript, which means it uses a lot more electricity than a native solution would (about 20 times [1]), wasting precious resources. Now consider the fact that this is a product of a company that states "to ensure that technology is inclusive, trusted, and increases sustainability."

The only amazing thing here is the level of hypocrisy, IMHO.
