It absolutely would help. It's practically tautological to say that you can create bad performance in any language, but that ignores the very real fact that some languages and systems just perform better for any given coding skill level. With native apps, you have to be extremely bad at coding to get bad performance. With electron, you have to be extremely good at coding to get good performance. VSCode is the exception, not the rule.
Even then, it's a pretty poor exception. The "good" performance of VSCode doesn't scale. It's a pretty barebones editor by itself, and once you load it down with extensions, it slows down quite significantly. The python extension, also written by Microsoft, is one that was bad enough to make me leave VSCode for good.
