I would still hate it. When it comes to UX I care a lot about the little stuff, and with all web-wrapper apps I've ever used it's death by a thousand cuts. Lots of little things that work in native apps don't work in Electron apps.
Let's take Slack as an example. All the keyboard shortcuts use weird modifier keys like option instead of command, and I can't discover any of them by looking through the menu bar like I can in a native app.
Or for another example, the Services feature of macOS doesn't work correctly with Electron apps. In any native app I can select some text and then trigger a Service on that text (for example, I've defined a service to be able to select a bug id and hit a keyboard shortcut to view that bug in our bug tracker). No such luck in Slack.
