I myself use Paw [0] because it's native to MacOS, but I'm a little bit worried for it's longevity as it being supported by a SaaS business. But so far it's been great to document API for my personal projects.
the extensions and ability to write your own extensions, or chain request/response values is crazy. when i've switched to linux box from macos last year, paw.cloud (rapidapi) was one of few stoppers for me, that good of a software it is. also not to mention the integration with keychain for credentials encryption was nice.
postman is really bad, nobody should use it. same goes for similar solutions, even this one.
Quickly turning into abandonware. I tried moving my paw library from one computer to another and it crashes opening the file. Had to start from scratch.
I’m envy? I’m hoping for a native GUI application for Linux.
Electron looks ugly, it doesn’t integrate, fails to handle HiDPI usually, in best case it eats a ridiculous amount of memory (factor 5x compared to native) and in worst case it has security issues due to Blink and lot of JS.
The person being replied to was talking about technical aspects similar between the two (functionality like HiDPI and performance) while you're mentioning socially-oriented differences. I would say both statements are true but that what the authors of each statement value is different.
Writing it is just like Flash is a statement that Electron should be dropped and never used by anyone.
Which I disagree with and provide my argument to show that any technical inconveniences parent poster noted, are not enough to say “Electron should be trashed and razed out”.
