Nothing wrong with it per se. But the developers choosing tech like Electron usually do it because it's low-effort cross-platform. With the emphasis on low-effort. It means they're not really willing to put in the work to make it run well. They just want to cobble something together and get it out there. There's really well-performing Electron apps, like VS Code. But the very same company also produces extreme turds, like MS Teams. This app is extremely unresponsive, takes about 30 seconds to sometimes even a minute to start up on a clean M1 Mac, and often crashes or just hangs. It's really horrible. And unfortunately the app I need the most for work. These are the apps that give these cross-platform web technologies a bad name. I understand why now that I have to struggle with this crap every day. With slack I just minded the UI not really fitting in but it performed just fine so I didn't hate the tech so much.
