Slack took great pains to make the client not be a memory and CPU hog.

Still better than Teams though. (Which is also in Electron.)

You can also see the pains the Evernote team took from the initial Electron-based 10 release until it became usable again. But you could also feel the product moving again after stagnation on a gazillion native clients. It was the right albeit mostly final engineering decision they took.
It surely was the right decision, but it came too late.

Also, still the app is almost worthless on my Android phone. Too slow, despite large improvement.
