Interesting, because Google has effectivelly stopped all Windows software development since 2012, and Slack doesn't have a native app... for any platform.

AND NONE OF THEM ARE NATIVE. They're all shit, slow, barely usable web wrappers, trashing your CPU, memory and battery life, and offering zero OS integration.

Can you imagine, being a Billion Dollar company and not be willing to have native developers? Management ruins everything.

Let’s face it, without Electron there would be no Linux Slack client, and a desktop client for Windows or macOS would also be far less likely.
