My main complaint about Electron apps is that they’re almost universally sluggishly slow. They don’t have to be — Discord is mostly fine, for example, and there’re a lot of actual web apps that work fast — but they are. I don’t know why this happens, but I’ve never seen a native app that was as unresponsive as Slack.

Most of Electron apps also really don’t need to exist. If your app is a web page, let me open it in my web browser, where I have cool features such as “tabs” and “the back button” and “not installing a copy of browser per web page”. Even Via, which is literally communicating with my QMK firmware, manages to run in-browser. Most web apps really have no excuse to require installation.
