The complaint about electron i hear the most are 1) the memory footprint - each instance of electron takes up at least a gig of ram. 2) the browser is duplicated, and cannot be upgraded independently (but i argue that is the point of electron). The third, but irrelevant complaint is from people on high horses talking about wanting native apps, and look down on html based apps.
