Hi, Warp engineer here! Nothing against electron. We write this in the headline because people who see features like blocks or input editor automatically think "slow". So it's a succinct way to communicate that we have a snappy app.

For benchmarks, we have some preliminary info in this tech blog https://www.warp.dev/blog/how-warp-works.

I understand that you want to promote the speed. I think the message could be more succinct without mentioning Electron and web.
Why? I hate Electron with passion, and being "no-Electron" was an insta-buy for me.
Because criticising a technology to promote a product doesn’t sound attractive to me. You wouldn’t have tried it without the electron hate?
