How exactly is Electron superior?

> VSCode is built in Electron.

So is slack, which (from what I've heard, I have no personal experience) eats RAM like a maniac. Neither of these example applications tips the scale between Qt or Electron on being superior.

Again, based on what I've heard/read, Qt being less recourse hungry and written in C++ allows it to be (for example) embedded (to cars or iot devices, for example).
