Yeah to me, as someone who considers themselves a Mac power user (12 years of learning keyboard shortcuts and clever system tricks), Electron apps stand out immediately.

There are so many small details, like proxy icons and commonly accepted shortcuts for particular actions. These are things you either get for free or nearly so when writing native apps using the system frameworks, or they are things that people trying to make a consistent app across multiple platforms miss.

As a user, the consistency isn’t really a feature for me. I don’t use windows or Linux on the desktop regularly, so having my editor/chat client/etc behave the same on all three isn’t useful.

Leaving aside the visual aspects (which are important for at least some users), this is what actually matters the most. Breaking keyboard shortcuts or having weird replacements for them is a big no-no for Electon based apps.
