"the performance can be close to par with native apps"

That has not been my experience with any electron app. They are dog slow across the board

Does that include VS Code? VS Code feels very responsive to me. I even replaced notepad++ on my Windows machines with it.

VScode is the best electron app I have used, but it still feels a little bloated, even on my very high latency display. We're just so spoiled with super responsive GUI toolkits, and that's how it should be, especially in an editor.

I'll stick with emacs for now, until I finish writing my own editor.
