Slack shouldn't display a blank screen for 5 seconds on startup on my M2. Not when Ripcord loads instantly.
I haven't built anything in Electron, but I've been writing Qt/QML cross-platform (focus on desktop) apps for a few years and I've found it to be a very productive and fast framework. You could easily write the entire app in JavaScript and QML and never touch C++ if you want.
Just my $0.02.
