Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns (www.windowslatest.com)

Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

Who actually cares?

Every people that complains, for one. And the "back" feature, with apps that follows the guidelines, is quite useful and consistent.

Apple has a universal app switcher gesture that is harder to accidentally invoke. It used to use the home button before for that when it was on the front of the device.

The back button on Android just feels like Chromebook bullshit to me.

Try teaching your 90-year-old mother to use that fucking gesture. Lol "Apple is so intuitive".

I have a literal 85 year old father in law with mild dementia who uses his iPhone and iPad just fine. It literally is intuitive.

The back button is just completely unnecessary. Imagine not knowing how to get back to something because the UI is atrocious so you revert to relying on a hardware key. 😷

Android - provides a back button that has the same look, location and functionality system wide so that users don't how to figure out how each individual application decide to implement (or not) go back functionality

Cousin Mose - the UI is attrocious.

Thanks for letting us know that no one should listen to your opinions on UI / UX ever lol
