Game developers know how to make smooth and performant UI, to say nothing of the rest of what goes into writing a game engine, particularly a fast GPU-accelerated engine. I’m starting to think it’s primarily a cultural thing, where it’s just become acceptable in the web dev and Electron app world to ship sluggish, resource-intensive apps. I also feel like more corners are cut and performance issues swept under the rug when devs are not staring down the barrel of the hardware on a daily basis.
