Yeah. "Real" native apps feel a lot better, and of course ship you a lot less code.

It is hard to justify the development effort for that, though, so this is the compromise. An app these days ideally supports Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iPhone, and the web... and that requires a lot of software engineers. Being able to write the bulk of the code once is appealing. But to the end user... they can tell that shortcuts were taken.

Strangely enough I and many other engineers were able to write multiplaform applications in the early 2000 without Electron crap.

Maybe we were special, the lasts of a dying breed.
