That was what killed it for me. After they rewrote in Electron, using the app always felt sluggish, and despite the fact that it didn't actually interfere with any of my uses of it, I went from really liking their service to tolerating it as the lesser of several evils.

I'm not sure whether electron itself is bad, or if it's the fact that any company who would use it has made an executive decision to cut corners and sacrifice user happiness for development velocity (Microsoft/VS Code excepted, mostly). Any such company would put out a bad product no matter what. Electron might just be the common subpar solution that these types of companies all gravitate towards; without it, they'd probably still build bad apps, but in a million different frameworks instead of just one.

Is it really though? I feel like it’s allowing many clients to exist that otherwise wouldn’t ever get written.

Don't know about ME, but I have many native apps on my Mac, and it's jarring when switching to any electron app. It's always janky.

Isn't Notion an Electron app or just a webapp?
