Anyone, is this yet another electron-based thing? I can't really tell from the readme...

  It doesn't use a browser to draw the UI, it draws it itself. It's not native UI controls though, they're emulated UI controls.

    Ok, still miles better in terms of performance I am sure then. Thanks!

      Have you used a good electron application, like VSCode or Figma?

        Unfortunatly, not one that doesn't render my netbook unusable. The old QT version of Skype was OK until microsoft killed it - the new one is a hog

        While VSCode is great in a lot of ways, it does not have good performance. What is has is adequate performance and great extension support. It regularly stutters quite badly on my beefy Dell Precision when running on the integrated GPU. I use it as my daily driver, but its performance pales in comparison to something like Sublime.

          Have to compare to eclipse/intellij/webstorm rather than sublime.

            I disagree. I use VSCode as a text editor, not an IDE. If I was going to stop using it, I would switch back to Sublime, not Eclipse/IntelliJ/whatever.

    As another comment said calling this 'native ui' might be misleading. It's native performance, but the UI will (probably) look non-native. It's a move in the right direction, but just understand what you are getting when you sign up. I have some experience using Xamarin which is true native controls for each platform, but has other drawbacks.
