The problem is that most of Lemmy is old and afraid of change. They look back on old style applications with nostalgia while completely forgetting all of the issues from that era.

I am thinking that:

On the one hand, people complain about bloat. Do you need to have a full browser underneat? I mean, do you even need js support for most of the UI requirements be done with just html+js + passing callbacks to the underlying language?
On the one hand, web frontend has proven to be so versatile. It makes moving applications from/to remote/local a bit easier, and you don't have to learn "yet anonter script/language" just to draw buttons

I can understand the hate for Electron as it poorly designed.

However, I don't see anything wrong with the Fedora installer. It runs Firefox so you aren't really getting any additional bloat.
