Combination of things really * Non-native look and feel. Personally I think this is the big one. * Applications/Applets took (take?) forever to boot. JIT takes a while to kick in. * High memory usage due to heap+reference memory model and GC model. * Latency spikes due to GC * Installing a JRE is cumbersome for users * Incompatible JRE versions are a pain for users If I'm being perfectly honest, a lot of the problems people have with Electron were or are problems with JVM consumer applications.

And electron has a native look and feel?

  Most of the electron apps have a very customized look and feel, and default to a website-ish look and feel. Maybe not native but at least users are used to it, and it's not as alien as Swing.
