I'm a user of VS Code and Slack and I'd be very happy if they didn't use Electron.
>Yes it's bulky and sometimes slow, but it offers a lot of features and allow developers to ship features and updates really fast, while only needing one codebase for all platform.
Like Slack having 1000x the memory and CPU use for 1/10th of the features a 200K app like ICQ used to have 25 years ago?
I feel vscode is quite good at hiding the fact it's not native, and felt quite snappy when I used it. Slack on the other hand feels painful slow and heavy (and very sensitive to network events like change of network or short disconnections, while native apps are generally much better add handling such glitches for some reasons)
