Remove electron platform

[imhoffd]

The provided electron platform needs to be removed from the repo and the CLI (and wherever else).

• We are recommending the Capacitor Community electron platform: https://github.com/capacitor-community/electron
• We could add a message when people do npx cap add electron and @capacitor-community/electron is not installed.

Is there a reason why @capacitor/[email protected] still uses that electron platform and yet prints (upon running cap doctor electron on a fresh Capacitor project)

[success] electron looking great! 👌
[warn] The electron platform is deprecated!

?
I'm confused as to why the latest version does that when I suppose it would have used the right platform.

Side (unrelated) note: the help menu is printed twice when unknown commands (e.g. cap help) are passed.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but the Electron platform is deprecated in 2.x and will be removed in Capacitor 3. We're not going to remove it in 2.4 or any future 2.x release because it would be a breaking change.

That makes sense, it just odd.
