(#13941284)
Separating layout from styling and behaviour is something that many GUI toolkit developers have decided is beneficial.
Most "modern" mainstream native toolkits - e.g. GTK+ 3, Qt 5, WPF - encourage this separation into layout - GtkBuilder, QML, XAML - and style - CSS, Qt Style Sheets, XAML Styles.
So, this isn't a "web browser" problem. Or, this style of GUI isn't the problem with Electron. I find GTK and Qt apps to be plenty responsive enough, even when their GUIs are loaded from XML files.
