I keep hearing bad things about Electron, and have only now bothered to look it up. As a user of Slack, and whatever other applications I happen to use that are based on Electron, I don't care that the application isn't native. Electron is "good enough." I would imagine that 99% of users feel the same way. Feel free to articulate your issues with such apps. So far, no one has really done that in the various comments online disparaging Electron.
