Desktop application developers waste months migrating away from Electron due to poor performance and resource consumption

Developers invest significant time building desktop apps with Electron, only to discover it's bloated, slow, and resource-intensive in production. Companies like those using Tauri attempt migration to lighter alternatives but face technical debt, incomplete tooling, and ecosystem immaturity that forces them back to Electron. Developers are trapped between a framework they know is suboptimal and alternatives that aren't production-ready enough to justify the migration cost.
