Op did not provide a single example of an Electron app that competes with native performance. When pushed, they became indignant and said that they have personally worked on several snappy Electron apps, which, however are secret. Also, there are apparently no other examples of Electron apps readily at hand.

So we end up where we were, with VsCode as singular example, and in turn, with the distinctive suspicion that the inability of anyone to point to even one decently performing Electron app may just simply be because Electron is not very good.

The downvotes then probably arise from the fact that this argument has been replayed on HN hundreds of times.
