They should be pretty minor. I've found that it's rare you need to rely on any of the Electron APIs. For the most part, Electron just provides a shell to load HTML/JS/CSS and that's where the overwhelming majority of the code lives.

The only time you need to access Electron APIs is to create and manage windows, system menus, etc.

For all the hate against it, we've been very happy with Electron. There's no way we'd have been able to afford to offer Windows and OS X given our limited budget without it.

Even with large budget it's pain to keep two codebase with different issue trackers etc..
