Coming from someone that has been using an old computer for a while, I could definitely tell the difference between Electron and non-Electron apps based on their speed. E.g. Spotify and Discord. They take forever to start (the worst part IMO), there's significant lag when changing pages, and they just feel bad to use. If you've never noticed it, then your computers are very good.



Spotify, at least on Windows uses something other than Electron as far as I can tell.
