Hacker News loves to hate Electron apps. In my experience ChatGPT on Mac (which I assume is fully native) is nearly impossible to use because I have a lot of large chats in my history but the website works much better and faster. ChatGPT website packed in Electron would've been much better. In fact, I am using a Chrome "PWA App" for ChatGPT now instead of the native app.
