I hate electron apps. Just make a website asshole, don't bundle a whole chrome browser! The only one I'll tolerate is ferdium, because having a message control center is kinda neat.
I want normal applications, that run on my computer I have at home!

You don't comprehend just how easy it is to do GUI programming in Javascript. Like if C++ is a nunchuck and Bash is a cursed hammer and lisp is a shiv then when it comes to GUI programming Javascript is Vector's control panel from dispicable me.
that's fine, give me the hammer. I despise this increasingly pervasive online first mentality. I like native applications using native toolkits. They're installed on my machine for a reason. I don't want the clusterfuck of HTML, CAS, and JavaScript managing my interfaces; they're horrible. Just because a monkey eating pop rocks can piss out a Pollock doesn't mean i wanna buy it. I am absolutely willing to trade some UI/UX niceties for actual fucking applications.

Want to make a code editor with me? You can give it a name then.
Also, massive security surfaces.
Any music producer is familiar with 3rd party license managers like ilok that make you use their Shit-ass electron application that gets an update once every few years.
