You know, Electron is perfect for these use cases:

A table view, a tree view, few buttons, some dialogs.

Until you try to actually use more than demo data and need to resort to tricks to sort out unresponsive rendering.

I have no love for Electron. Still remember Active Desktop, MSHTML, XUL and Symbian Web Runtime.

As someone that does both native and Web fullstack, the place for Web technologies is on the browser, with approaches like PWAs.

Sequel Pro's query dialog grinds to a screeching halt on my 2018 model MBP when there is more than 1500 lines of text in the box.

Naturally being native does not sort out everything if not coded properly.

The difference being that native solutions have better tooling to handle such cases, one just needs to actually learn how to use them.

In a future where Worklets and WebComponents with virtual tables are a standard browser feature, similar approaches can be done in the browser as well.

Yea...because you totally forgot all the data loading and handeling that needs to be done in a performant way

The reason to use one of these is to not use a web app
