Not GP, but Electron apps to me have a specific “smell”. When you run one, you get to know it’s an Electron app without prior knowledge of that fact. Slow launches, massive memory usage that initiates thrashing, standard OS keyboard bindings not working, actions within the app being sluggish (especially if this is not the only app running and there are other apps using some RAM), and sometimes several crashes too.

I know that there are some Electron apps that behave well and perform well (responsiveness and RAM usage), but those are in the minority. One could always run a bloated Electron app as the only foreground app on the system and give it more resources, but the usability compromises are hard to get over if you’re someone who likes learning and using keyboard shortcuts and other OS specific interactions.
