My annoyance with Electron surfaces when it's being used for tools that you need to use a lot and that potentially are started often, with a lot of instances. Slack clients for instance, but editors and terminals as well. These are precisely the kinds of applications where you want low memory usage and milliseconds worth of startup time.
Additionally, this annoyance probably has more to do with the fact that Electron is used by developers for other developers. If it would be used to replace Excel the rage would probably be less pronounced. I'm still wondering what would happen though, because of all the subtle ways in which the UI experience would be broken for someone who's used to Excel.
