I'm someone who tends to hate on electron, but definitely ignore those comments. If you have a large, experienced team who can easily crank out a native app, then there is potential for increased performance, but for solo projects and small teams the increased productivity alone is worth it. It's way better to have something available than a promised feature that may ship in 2 years.

Plus, there are tons of slow buggy apps that are written in c++, that doesn't guarantee performant software. Electron doesn't need to be slow either, VSCode demonstrates that. Especially for a solo dev or small team, electron is for sure the right choice for a desktop app.

Edit: the reason I tend to dislike electron is that apps don't often follow native UI trends, which is definitely a solvable problem.
