I don't think it's entirely fair to say that they had to drop down. I suppose that all comes down to what you mean by "acceptable". Personally, I think they chose terminal rendering as something to optimize and I think it's a great choice. You emphasized "terminal emulator" in your comment. I don't think they chose to optimize the terminal because it was new ground, but rather because it's a well understood problem space. The Electron waters are limited, yes. But I think it's nice to see developers pushing at those boundaries, no?
