><video> being enough to embed a video into the view versus subclassing a C++ Qt class or whatever song and dance it is in other frameworks
What are you going to do with the video? Coz that's where the problems with electron begin to appear. For example, you want some controls for seeking, displaying time, copying link, full screen, etc. And suddenly you get yourself a slow youtube-like monster. I really wish I could continue to use flash-based youtube, because I had no performance problems with it.

Slack doesn't need to render html snippets.
