And many of those apps end up with terrible performance. I'm sure it's possible to write a performant electron app, but I don't see it happen often and it's disappointing.

What is a desktop-class app?

  One that can read and write files and directories among other things. (Not an electron fan, but web pages are still pages, not real apps.)
