Much better for the developer, but also a worse experience for the user. I have installed a desktop application for Slack, and it eats RAM like crazy. I would love to have a fast alternative that's not IRC in the command line. I want some middle ground like Evolution is for emails. My take is: when products change too fast, this fast iteration development wins. When products have a stable featureset and performance can be a factor, native clients will win. And this has nothing to do with Apple rules or limitations. In fact, this is what is happening between SublimeText and Atom. If both had the same price (zero) and license, I don't think anyone would use Atom.
