Thats fair, I guess. But running an electron app that out of date is just playing with fire. You know, with the couple hundred chromium and electron CVE's and all :/
compared to... nothing... I love it. It's subjective. I love what it does and it's my favorite piece of software because it does what i need it to do, every time, all the time.
Thanks for the mention! Yes, I was the person who found the original bug in electron and made the PR to get it fixed. Now doing my due diligence of (nicely) asking companies to update their versions :)
It's very hard to notice and very easy to attribute something else. The main symptom is your laptop heating up which is usually attributed to
(1) You just have a slow MacBook, you should get a new one
(2) During beta, "it's a beta and it's expected to heat up and be slow"
(3) People not caring about temps because they use the laptop in clamshell mode
I believe this falls into the perfect definition of "slipped thru the cracks"
