Electron is probably the biggest culprit. There are still a few native apps that I use like mIRC, foobar2000 and they always feel very snappy.

Electron feels snappy on modern machines as well. If only it took a bit less RAM than it currently takes to run an app.
I read somewhere that Webkit and specifically Chrome are optimized towards more efficient CPU usage in the expense of a larger RAM use. Probably makes sense in terms of energy consumption but you need more RAM.
