I don't know about other users, but I like good software with functional UIs that are easy to automate and extend. In my experience, that's definitely _not_ Electron-based UIs. It's also not most GUIs either for that matter.

I absolutely do _not_ want "gesture" and "animation" support. Gestures are a hack for a shitty touch-screen input with zero tactile feedback. Animation is just a power hog for, like you said, a pretty interface. I don't want a pretty interface if it costs performance, costs battery, costs usability.
