We don't have to imagine. Someone has made a clone of Sketch for the web: https://app.designer.io/. There's an app to download as well.

It doesn't match the performance of a native equivalent, but doesn't seem unreasonably slow or bloated either.

There are also two other Electron-based vector graphics editors on the app store:

- Boxy SVG - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/boxy-svg/id611658502

- Vectr - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vectr/id1204645754

Can we tell without feature parity? I were writing such a webapp, I'd skip features that were slow.

The OP suggested that no web/Electron based editor could have "complex vector editing, gradients and co on screen". This has nothing to do with achieving 100% feature parity, so yes, we can tell. Anything else is moving the goalposts.

100% feature parity is a meaningless test in any case. Sketch doesn't have 100% parity with Inkscape, which doesn't have 100% parity with Affinity Designer, which doesn't have 100% parity with Illustrator, etc.
