Electron apps do tend to feel like their development is driven by bored designers who want to reinvent the wheel for the 5 millionth time and almost always favor form over function.

Don’t get me wrong, I prefer to use apps that look and feel great, but that shouldn’t ever come at the cost of functionality, responsiveness, etc. It’s a great example of where what benefits companies and what benefits users differs considerably (stable, functional, lightweight app vs. strong branding and cheap engineers).
