Just because they moved to electron for the core client doesn't mean they can't add native extensions to add those features back. It's still a fully native app they are building and shipping at the end of the day (just happens to do a lot more work in the web view). I suppose losing those features is a trade-off they made in order to get the rewrite done but wouldn't be surprised if they add in those features later. And the Windows app was in need of a serious update, the experience was not great. We can't pretend that engineering for different platforms has no overhead. If they can now move faster shipping new features to all platforms on day one, users will win. There is going to be a transition period where things aren't at parity yet and that's understandable.
