The fact that an app built with electron may be fractions of a second slower than one built using native tech, does not change the fact that most of the people who keep on harping about this whenever electron is discussed are native app developers spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about a competing tech stack. And it is a big threat because it makes creating desktop apps accessible to millions more developers, and therefore cheaper and faster from a business point of view. So what is essentially an economic problem pretending to be a technical one. I moved from Notepad++ (screaming fast) to VS Code, and those micro-second differences in speed do not matter at all.
