I'll add to the Electron hating bandwagon. Not every native app is good and often the UI and design feels crappy. I mean this was the case for decades. But I will still prefer crappy looking performant app over nice looking sluggish electron app.

I really really would not want to use a "productivity" type of application that is made in Electron but I also know that many people do not mind.

This said we are again in the era where it does not matter to most of the users. If it would people would stop using Atom/VScode and others. We all know that there is not a more cost effective way of building multiplatform apps (all things considered).

We will have to cope with this as long as there is not real competition.
