I've literally started using Word and Excel less often because of just how long it takes them to start up. Like, I just want to write a quick document or edit my CV, why do I have to sit here and wait for 10-20 seconds??

Electron apps don't have to be shit; VS Code demonstrates this. But the VS Code people are also insanely performance-focused; your average app developer does not care.
