For instance, the settings dialog in Firefox is a HTML/CSS/JS interface and Thunderbird should become alike. Did they explicitly say Electron?
Sorry, I have also heard it via secondary sources, but now I was searching for myself to find out if Electron will be used or not..., and it will not be used.
Instead a mixture of ES6-javascript/HTML5 will be the code to build the new interface and that is already used for the settings dialog IMHO.
I ahve no idea if thats better then Electron or if it will cause more problems regarding accessibility..., we will see.
