Still were you guys really aware of the decision made? Electron ships with a chrome VM. So for each electron app that you have on a desktop, you have installed chrome's engine too, despite the fact that you have already a chrome browser. It's not a secret that chrome eats up your resources (especially when managing memory). I certainly don't want this on my PC.

I wished that you have considered to stay at C# like the old NMM (even if that software program is not designed correctly). I have also seen the requirements. Especially the "bonus skills" section. The management has to consider if they're not picking too many technologies. Really, for server side only: Node.js + Rails + PHP. Or is node.js used for some client site tooling? I would really say "Really?" if that's the situation.

For the client technology we've considered many different technologies, not just electron and c#. Electron ended up to be the best trade-off for what we wanted to achieve. We of course considered staying with c# but decided against it, it was not a decision made on a whim.

I don't quite get your argument about: "Why use a the chrome vm when you could use the .net vm bundled with Windows?".
With that very same logic you'd have to ask "Why use chrome when you could use internet explorer bundled with Windows?".

The answer is the same for both questions: Because it's better and worth a couple mb of download.
Well, actually, I'm not going to claim electron is superior to .net in general, but for a UI heavy application at this time it is, in my opinion.

UI heavy application ? Are we still talking about a mod manager ?
No offense, but I'm surprised that a mod manager is considered as UI heavy.

When it has to be able to support as many different games, and game engines, and ways of installing and using mods within those games as the Vortex will, then... yes, it becomes very UI heavy. :cool:

Been having this issue for years already, someone please, I dont even have permission to go to my own account.

Y'all have been oddly silent recently, anything much going on (hint hint: Vortex); or is it just us fans being hopeful?

I don't think many understand how many games Vortex must be able to support.

No announcements show on this site since August. Where are the things you are referring to posted?
