Most quality electron apps are NOT web apps. Beekeeper Studio included. It's a full desktop app in all terms, everything is local, no remote asset loading or anything like that.

For folks turning web apps into desktop apps, sure it doesn't matter as much, but a real desktop app is way more integrated and feature-full.

Yeah. Totally respect the approach. But what I mean is that the practice of making browser compatible web apps is well established so it isn't necessarily a deal breaker to have a couple of different rendering engines. I can count on one hand the few discrepancies I've found when using Tauri.
