> I still remember how bad it was before electron as a windows user. Half the apps that seemed cool(omnifocus, bear notes) had mac only desktop version, other(1password, evernote) had a native windows version that felt ugly and unpolished.

My experience was very different, may be because I don't care much about how an app looks but care is it allows me to do what I need to do fast. Before electron most apps followed Microsoft UI guidelines, had consistent look and feel, hot keys for most functions with basic hot keys (like save/open/help e. t. c.) consistent in different apps, low UI latency (unless the system is swapping but electron made this problem worse by using more RAM).
