I doubt amount of such users is substantial. I assume we are talking about business decisions here, and as far as those go ditching 0.1% of userbase to radicall

  > I doubt amount of such users is substantial "So screw them. We don't care about their concerns." This is not a solution. Sure, the majority of users don't care about the performance hit, or size requirement, but solving that problem in a way substantial enough to make those with tighter requirements happy can only help everyone. I have an 8-core 4ghz CPU, 2 >5tflops GPUs and am not content with the performance of web-based GUI. It's sluggish and bloated. No matter how powerful my system is, I can tell, and it's enough of an issue to warrant complaint.

    Problem is, as author stated there is no such solution right now. It's all about trade offs and in any case you got to sacrifice something. Sure, solving this problem would be amazing and good for all but I know I'm not up to task and there are tons of other people much smarter than me who tried and failed already. I don't think electron is the problem, I just think there are some quirks with it that were not yet ironed out.

The problem with electron is not that it has quirks, but that it is chromium "ironed out" to be a GUI toolkit. It's effective, and generally well done, considering that fact, but will continue to be noticeably sluggish as long as it even resembles what it was in the first place.
