If computers get significantly faster then no...but at this point I always reach for a native application if I have the choice.

The only non-native app I dont detest that much is VS Code but it still feels painfully slow compared to something like Sublime Text.

Lets look at the chat apps that provide a similar functionality.

* Teams

Takes between 600-800MB on my PC. It's sluggish as hell and will often choke to re-render if I click on something.

* A native chat app Takes 15MB...Is just as eye candy as Teams and yet i dont care if it's running or not.
