Yeah, I think that’s probably fair. Games and media apps certainly get a pass from me. Not so much corporate chat apps that are shipped as part of the most popular productivity suite in history (as one example).

Also agree with you on both Win32 and Cocoa widgets.

Also, Win32 and Cocoa widgets feel so reactive and fast. Electron is bloated and so laggy.

Speaking of performance of media apps, I stopped using the official Spotify client after I found out about Spotifast [1]. Yes, it's vibecoded, but it feels so fast and light compared to the real client that I wonder why Spotify itself doesn't fix their official app.
