> stay away from Electron

Is this really still true though? VS Code and Slack are all quite polished and give me no issues as a user. Not sure what else I'd consider to build something similar.

I might understand polished, but no issues sounds odd. What about the abysmal performance? Also most folks building things do not have the resources that Microsoft has, so I believe VSCode is not a good represantative of most Electron software.
