As a heavy discord user, its performance is just nothing compared to a native app (gtk etc). Its notably not native in performance

Could just be me, but the Discord app is full of glitches and random pauses for me. The app is better on my phone, but on several Linux distros the feel of the application is just off to me. Switching servers and channels has a tiny but noticeable delay that I haven't seen native applications have.

Unfortunately, there aren't many native applications any more. At this point I'd prefer a Windows application that works in Wine over yet another "cross-platform" Electron webbrowser-with-builtin-website.

> Discord for instance have implemented their apps really well

No they haven't. The discord electron app is a trash fire. I use discord in Safari. It's just as bad UI and UX and slowness as the electron crap, but at least I get a few more hours of battery life...

Since I removed the electron garbage from my phone, my battery life tripled from one day at most to three days...

Discord is unusable at times too. But compared to other Electron shits, Discord is above average when it comes to performance. But in the end, when compared to Native apps, performance wise, Discord is still shit. It's nowhere near Telegram.
