I shed a few tears when they decided to make Steam an electron app. It used to be so responsive and snappy even on old computers. And now almost every UI action has significant latency.

I've had the opposite experience. Ever since they switched to WebKit it actually works for me. Previous to that it was always so sluggish.

Technically Steam isn't using Electron but CEF.

I ended up going into settings and changing it to low bandwidth and low performance mode to make it feel similar to before.
