I agree that Electron apps can be slow. I think that has to do with the single thread event loop, which it is very easy to block when doing some heavy processing, if you don't think about it all the time. On the other hand Electron apps are very stable and I don't think I've ever had one segfault on me, like happens with a lot of native applications. It's still quite early in the world of Electron, so I can imagine speed will increase as people develop new techniques for writing better code for complex apps. Like VS Code probably did something right there.
