> I said that one CAN produce snappy Electron apps.
You're still asserting they CAN without being able to cite any that does. You've only highlighted everyone's favorite VS Code example whose performance and resource usage is definitely not comparable to native text editors.
Everyone already knows the obvious benefits of Electron and why it's popular, that's irrelevant to your baseless snappiness claims on a thread about the impressive UX and responsiveness of Spotify's original Desktop App which even they themselves was not able to recreate when they moved to their new Desktop's CEF/Web UI architecture.
One needn’t exist for my claim to be true. It’s based on how the actual platform works and having built performant web sites. I would agree nearly every mainstream Electron implementation is a mess, but so is nearly every mainstream website. It’s rare companies deem it important to build that level of performance because by and large customers don’t give enough of a shit. Except Hackernews posters, that is.

Which explains everything.
Having built them, I have nothing to prove to a bunch of goofs on here :)
